Quotables:

• 6:23 – “We have found that a lot of older companies especially our design that have been around for 30-something years, you really have growth pretty quickly and then it starts to plateau where you make gains to the business you might lose some business but you maintain quite a steady, there’s not a huge growth climb but what we have found is that by implementing some of the EOS model in our organisation and using analytics it’s really helped us gain new traction even in those businesses that have been around a long time so core values for us are a big deal.”
• 31:11 “We are all leaders, whether it’s by title or not we have the opportunity to slowly implement things that can change the lives of our team members and in HR if you are an HR team member even if you’re a generalist you can implement some of these things  just in your own team and you’d be surprised as you start to see the positive changes that take place other managers want in on it, they want to know what you’re doing, they want to know how you’ve started to build this really cool culture and how you’ve been able to retain people and they want that too, so you’d be surprised as an informal leader how you can change the lives internally.”
