• It’s important to show appreciation towards your employees and communicating their value is important to do early on.
• No one wants to put their all into work in an environment where they don’t feel like an integral part.

• The best way to get familiar with an environment and it’s core is through spending time there.
• Often, when a company knows they have plans of opening another office soon, they make earlier decisions on who will be leading that office.
• This allows those leaders to study the culture, the people operations, and other elements that make homebase run smoothly.
• Ultimately, those leaders will put a structure in place at the new locations and do their best to mimic the successful environment that the company embodies.
