Questions this video answers

Three.

At least twice a week.

1) Fire people who don't abide by the rules (enforce cultural rules). 2) Have team meetings (at least twice a week). 3) Hold off-site meetings and practice open-book management; include profit-sharing or pay-for-performance.

All right, so Mark Koch asks, what is the number? Are your top three suggestions to build team culture?
Mark Koch is in Linden. Mark, I hope you're working hard today too.
Three tips. Team culture. Okay, number one, fire people that don't abide by the rules. And the rules might be the cultural rules. I'm gonna take a slight right.
Rules. Culture. Yeah. Fire people that don't abide by the rules. That is how you set the stand. You can yak and pack all you want about culture, but until you fire someone over it, it doesn't really matter. So we fired someone yesterday because they were not supporting the team and they were slacking off a little bit. So we fired them. It makes it very clear to everyone that is not allowed. Number two, have team meetings.
At least twice a week. Connect with your team. Don't make them feel like they're abandoned or up by themselves. Number three, have off site meetings and open book management where you share the numbers and they feel included. Try to give be as fair as possible in terms of profit sharing or pay for performance to give them a piece of the pie when they work harder. Those are my three tips for culturing.
