“The reality is the only place a company's culture is going to start and end is at the beginning of that company. And it always starts with the founders. So if you can't create an environment of founders and founding employees who are going to represent the company you want, then you are never going to get there. You have to look at your own network and find what you are missing. So if you don't have a female or someone who has an international perspective or a person with a bio degree, but those perspectives matter to the firm or product you want to create, then it's never going to work out.” RealityCultureEnvironmentMissingPerspectiveFemaleWork OutFirmEmployeeFoundersGoing To Work Author:Amy Nauiokas
