When it's all about the work, it's clear who in the company is pulling their weight and who isn't.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our company is built on people - those who work for us, and those we do business with.
There are people who want the comfort and structure of a job where they're given tasks and told what to do. I think it's actually a minority of people. The majority of people don't want that, but I'd say that the companies I've built are full of people with something to prove.
What we know is the workplace is more demanding than ever before.
I think it's absolutely essential that the people that work for a company need to feel that they're part of something bigger - that it's not just a job.
Most employees only want to know how much they get paid and how much time off they get - they probably don't have the mission in their souls.
Running a company is pretty demanding.
The work is getting the work.
I don't want to say work is who I am, but some people feel more centered and more whole when they're producing and creating.
I think I know I've been working very hard for the family business, sometimes those days are long days and I think if I know I'm working hard and pulling my weight, both working and playing hard at the same time, I think everyone who I work with can see I am there pulling my weight.
I always look at it that I work with my employees as opposed to them working for me.
