And, what people also don't understand with culture, you get culture in the context of the way people do things a certain way in a certain environment, which is clearly visible.” - Brad Shorkend “I use the word ‘obsessed’ deliberately. They obsess about getting certain things, right? Because, they understand that if you get the human being into its most optimal state, performance is at a higher level.” - Brad Shorkend “Make sure that the communication matters both ways. Be in optimum delivery mode, be an optimum receiving mode, check for clarity. It saves so much time, energy, and frustration at a time where we're lacking.” - Brad Shorkend Resources Mentioned: Brad Shorkend LinkedIn Still Human Book: We Are Still Human: And Work Shouldn't Suck The Nanodegree - Use the coupon code AIROCKS for a 10% discount at checkout.
