We have this fanatical fan base that wants to see us succeed, and so they get it.

Onboarding starts with satisfying the most basic of Maslow’s psychological needs: belonging.

I was a writer for hire. I wrote to pay the bills. Damien Chazelle
The saying in business is that, ‘You hire for skills and you fire for behavior.’ And one would argue that in order to move up in career, to be promoted, to take on additional responsibility, in many ways that’s linked more to the attitudes and behaviors that you carry rather than what you know technically about a given subject. Gerald Chertavian
