Recently an ex-employee of ours called crying, saying the showroom she worked for didn’t appreciate her, that there was no leadership and no team culture. She missed the working conditions that were in place when she worked for us. 

I related that loving her job and her teammates is very important to being happy in life. She just left that job and has gone to work for a showroom that has a reputation for having a great team environment. And, she’ll take with her most of the million dollars-plus a year that she sells.
