Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can't deliver good service from unhappy employees.

Have fun. The game is a lot more enjoyable when you're trying to do more than just make money.

Ask yourself: would you be comfortable printing everything your employees, customers & partners have to say about your culture?

I think the most important thing is just if you hire people whose personal values match the corporate core values - and not just the stated ones.

Our society in general has is more money equals more happiness and all the research has shown that that's true up to a point, up until you can get your basic needs met, but then really there is other stuff that has a much bigger impact on your happiness besides just money.

I view my role more as trying to set up an environment where the personalities, creativity and individuality of all the different employees come out and can shine.

Most companies are very quick to hire and slow to fire, when really it should be the other way around.
