Takeaways

Companies need to put their people before profit’s, a person’s will before resources. It’s important for a person to feel they are more than the money they are paid. People need to feel they are part of the cause and a part of something bigger than themselves. Leaders need to change their finite mindset because the game they are playing is infinite. If you take care of your employees the profits will come. People need to feel safe.
