Fred Wilson – How to Build a Strong Company

Posted on September 25 2012 in Business Culture, Business/Finance, Future of Work

In the April issue of Inc. Magazine, they had a full page picture of Fred Wilson from Union Square Ventures (they’ve invested in companies like Tumblr, Foursquare, Twilio, Etsy, Zynga, and others). The quote that appears next to Wilson jumped off the page at me.  Try and read this and not agree.  Impossible.

This quote should be required reading for every manager, at every company.

Launch. Inc. Magazine. April 2012. Page 27

“You have to start with culture, values, and a commitment to creating a fantastic workplace. You can’t fake these things. They have to come from the top. They are not bullshit. They are everything.”
