QUOTES
- “Alignment. It’s hiring alignment. It’s like, Hey, here’s the culture. Here’s the culture we’ve developed inside this company. It’s either going to align to your values and your work ethic, or it’s not, but y’all are going to sniff this out pretty fast.”
- “It’s about recognizing that somebody in your company is doing something for somebody else and then rewarding it.”
- “Just because things are the way they are doesn’t mean that’s the way they’re going to be forever. And it’s up to leaders to search out and look for better ways to do things.”
