Culture means everything.
Losing even one key person can seriously impact work and morale. Strong culture acts as a retention tool - when people feel connected to and aligned with their team, they're more likely to stay despite potentially higher-paying offers elsewhere.

As a leader you need to be able to manage different people differently. It's why we recommend the MCode assessment because when your team takes it, it helps them see themselves better and you see them way more accurately, so you can lead them more effectively.

The most dangerous phrase in leadership isn't 'I don't know' - it's 'I know.'
Certainty is the enemy of growth.
Question your successful strategies more than your failed ones.
