The way a company acts, as well as the way it performs, is largely driven by the culture of the company. So, where does the culture come from? Who decides? These are important questions that you need to ask if you are a first-time founder. When I started my first company, I had never even heard the term “Corporate Culture”.

Great leaders know that they will never achieve their full potential unless they create a corporate that demands high performance. It all starts with accountability!

Entrepreneurs are typically clever people. Sometimes a little too clever for their own good. A common mistake made by first time founders is using your board to get what you want from your team.

You’ve got to be kidding me! Why wouldn’t you want to run a B Corp? Talk to anyone who works for a certified B Corp and they will tell you just how good it feels to know that while you are busy at work, making money for yourself and the company’s shareholders, you are also making a positive difference in the world. As a former corporate CEO, I would love to have had an opportunity to pursue Purpose as well as Profits. I would have enjoyed finding creative ways of harnessing the enthusiasm of my employees, the extraordinary support of my suppliers and the loyalty of my customers. I wish I could look back and be proud of the positive impact that my life’s work had on the world around me. I wish I could look my kids and my grandkids in the eye and tell them that I did my best for them and for their future. It’s too late for me, but not for all you first time founders out there. Don’t miss this opportunity to be all you can be as a founder and as a leader of business.
