If you're sitting in the CEO seat, your employees are buying a potential future with you. And for the employees, you are buying an opportunity from your employer.

And you need to really understand what is your unique value proposition, how do you want to price yourself, and what is your promise of potential? Because that's the thing that everybody is buying.
