Absolutely fantastic. In my MBA program for our class on Organizational Behavior, this video was assigned for one of our modules. I'm so glad it was assigned because it is incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing such amazing content so openly and freely, and thank you for enhancing my world!
I was invited to tour their office and attend an 11:11 meeting - the culture is just as good as Jay makes it sound in this excellent talk. They have done something special there and I hope more companies catch on to their way of thinking. As someone who has had good jobs turn sour due to high performers with bad attitudes that management protects, I can really appreciate Jay's devotion to culture.
Congrats on 1 million views Jay! We're glad to have you as part of our organization and culture as well. Keep up the great work!
Give this to the neighborhoods and teachers thanks 🌎❤️
Truly a must-watch video with advice that stands the test of time. Entrepreneurs and employees alike have a powerful influence on company culture no matter where they work; it's refreshing to see someone putting culture before profit knowing that if one thing happens the other will too.
Citing this company in my research paper. The value/skill grid at 15:05 is brilliant.
Inspiring! Proves that culture can make all the difference in the workplace. Glad to see 1 million views—this is something every business owner should watch!
Thanks for this presentation Jay. You are correct that a company's culture is all about intention. My favorite book on this topic is "Building a Culture of Intention" published by Helios HR. Great stories.
TEDx is the best in sharing experience that gives a free of charge sharing experience, Thump up
I don't think any of his ideas can be applied to any other company but his, but I love his attitude.
What an inspiring video! :) I totally agree, a company is nothing without its people. We should create work environments our employees can thrive, grow, and stay motivated. Hope to see more awesome content! :)
Congratulations on 1 million hits and on Firespring being named to Inc. Magazine's inaugural 50 Best Workplaces list in 2016. More evidence that a vibrant culture really is the special sauce.
Its a a great video. Just few days back I spent the evening explaining my theory about how company can do bug saving by building the company culture. In this day Im starting my research on comp. culture for my thesis and this video encouraged me that I'm on right track. Hope I can meet you one day on some conference or read your book :)
This is the best video I have been introduced to as a business owner as an entrepreneur. How can I link up with Joe?
One of my favorite TED x videos. Showing how it's done.
Great question Laura! I'll never understand the companies that don't get this concept.
Maybe they'll let us split a position? Firespring has a spa and ladies lounge with a breast-feeding area for nursing mothers. So cool.
I was so intrigued at his Ted Talk, I immediately went to research the company only to find little or no diversity or inclusiveness. At least, that what the company photo screams. As a company, I feel that you limit potential and development by not being inclusive and open to this ever changing global world that we live in. Talent comes in many shapes and forms. It starts at the top.
1 million views! Way cool! This is a great message and something that Jay lives every day. Congrats on the milestone.
