KEY QUOTE:

“I think you need to be strategic about your culture or it's a waste. Creating your values, screening for those values, onboarding those values, coaching in private, and praising them publicly. That's how you sustain a strong culture. It is incredibly important to us. I think it's a winning formula.”
