“Society, and the business world, teach us that our needs, wants, and desires disappear when we turn 21 and become adults. They turn off, and it is you, the human, who must address the needs, wants, and desires of the business. They supersede you. A V.A.L.U.E.-based culture says both the company and the employees have needs, wants, and desires and BOTH are important to the success of our mission. Chelle hits the nail on the head with “Culture Secrets: Secrets Any Leader Can Use to Build a V.A.L.U.E. Culture” as she illustrates for you why your culture is your internal brand and how just one bad apple in top leadership can have a SIGNIFICANT impact on the success of your company in all the ways you can measure it. The pages inside the covers of this book are a must-read for all corporate Executives and Business Owners.”
