Summary

In this moment, Greg Hoffman breaks down why you should sweat the small stuff.

Getting a strong sense of culture in those teams is no easy task, but in this moment Greg breaks it down step by step. Greg explains how he wanted his team to be known for ‘Empathy, Curiosity, and Courage’, guided by the philosophy of seeing what others could see, but finding what they couldn’t.
