Lead by example…

Your culture led by you…

•Open culture, encouraging creativity and learning from mistakes

•Skills = pay the price

•No management structure / hierarchy

•Thank you is free = letters and calls

•Referrals = always habitually

•Always be ready to sell

•Reward systems that count

Through people you WILL succeed

• Family involvement by all staff and value back

• Lack of cultural fit – recruitment specific templates and system

• KEY features of people and role first

• Freedom to do / to use skills / to grow to learn

• Your money = their money = engagement & empowerment

• Delegate or die

• Keep the customer at the HEART of your business
