Notes

• Building a great business is like creating a great wine
  • Start with great soil (the work environment, geographic location, interior design, etc.)
  • Train the vines (Provide people with opportunities to flourish)
  • Prune some of the grapes, especially those at the top - they'll provide shade that prevents the grapes down below from getting all the nutrients they need and, furthermore, the soil can only support so many grapes before it suffers.
    • "In any great vineyard, you have to prune some of the grapes for the rest of the vineto survive."
  • Pray for a good climate
• How to grow organizational culture
  • "Culture is like a shark. It constantly moves or it dies."
• An employee that's great at a certain function of their job is only 49 points of 100. The other 51 points is for hospitality.
