    Inspirational Quotes on: Love

  • Now what we’re going to do is interview each employee of the company, not all of them, but one at a time, we’ll do a limited number of key employees. We’ll interview each of them, we’ll get their perspective on what they do, and we’ll clarify their job title and their job description. We’ll tell them this is what we want them to do for the company because this is what they were hired to do. Eventually we’ll introduce them to the CEO of the company.
