What you will learn in this episode:
Key Quotes
"When you are very forward, these are what [are values] are, and there are no apologies about it, these are our expectations. Then it's a matter of 'if you resonate with these [values], you probably are going to really enjoy this experience both as an employee and as a client.'”
"We are going to be elite at what we are doing as long as we do weekly what has to be done."
"Someone can do it as good or better. It doesn’t matter if they approach it differently so long as they do it with excellence."
"Things at Tenney Group got a whole lot better [when I focused on what can I get rid of]."
"If you are really serious about core values and hold them accountable, everything in conflict with [those values], will ultimately get [naturally] rejected. You are then able to focus on the core work, knowing we are not going to deviate from that standard."
