Quotable Quotes:

• “A boundary communicates hope for reconciliation.”
• “A culture of honor is powerful people working together to meet the needs of each other, the situation, and the organization.”
• “Scared people want control.”

Highlights:

• Hire individuals who align with your organization’s culture. While skills and knowledge can be taught, a person's inherent culture cannot be altered.
• Creating an environment of connection is more important than seeking total agreement.
• Control is an indicator that someone is still driven by fear, rather than love, in their relationships.
