Nurturing a Culture-Focused, Employee-First Company with Paul Spiegelman [LLC 006]

Dec 11, 2017

Paul Spiegelman and his two brothers started BerylHealth in the mid-80’s and grew it from just the three of them to over 400 employees and nearly $40 million in annual revenue. Paul believes that the company’s secret sauce was its unique company culture. That is the focus of today’s episode: workplace culture and its importance in helping you grow your business. Paul joins us to share his insight on how leaders can focus on creating an employee-first, culture-focused company.  

What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

• Why establishing an employee-focused culture is good for business
• How Paul decided that creating a workplace where employees woke up excited to go to work would help business in the long run
• What the Circle of Growth philosophy is and why you should know about it
• What is company culture anyways?
• How can a new business owner establish their company culture when it’s still one person
• Why it’s important to relay your company culture to your customer because that becomes your differentiating factor
• The specific process that Paul used to preserve the company culture as business grows from 1 or 2 employees to hundreds of employees
• Who, in your company, will require the most attention to get them to “buy into” company culture
• The connection between company culture and business profitability
• How the method of leadership that is the most effective has evolved the past 10 years
• What Paul’s Small Giants Community does and what it has to offer small business owners
