When your face appears above theirs on the organizational chart:
A) Do they work for you?
B) Do you work for them?

Most believe ‘A’ to be true.

Those who have figured it out, know ‘B’ to be true. They’ve figured out that if you give them enough of what they want, they will give you everything you want.

They’ve also figured out that what they have is transient. Our employees and contractors are just as much ours as are our library books, kids, or wealth. They’re leased to us.

‘What I have is God’s gift to me. What I do with it is my gift to God.’

Company culture is more influenced by leadership’s outlook and less by the availability of baristas and foosball tables.
