As an accomplished company head who guided numerous teams for major corporations, including a Fortune 500, Cynthia Cleveland explains viable workplace culture is only possible with the ideal people.

Marc takes culture seriously and attributes much of his company's success to it. Marc believes that you manage, lead, hire, fire, and solve problems using your core values. When a problem pops up, you evaluate it through this lens: which core value is misaligned here? This extremely quick and effective tactic often gets right to the root cause of the problem – and solutions suggest themselves almost automatically.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Marc Reifenrath discuss:Networking is worth your time Confidence could be the difference Finding competitive team players Creating collisions in the online workplace Key Takeaways:Networking events are worth your time. Getting the support of many different people that have different specialties is the best way to grow your business. Confidence could be the difference between a sale and a rejection. People want to know that what you're saying is going to happen as good as you're saying if not better. You want somebody who's confident, competent, and competitive in your team but you want that person to be able to use that competitive energy to benefit the whole team and the whole organization, not just themselves. In the online space, you need to be intentional in creating collisions between people. Leaders need to be more personal, and show their sincerity by really letting somebody say how they are. "We were saying the same things, but it was being heard differently because we're saying it differently. That confidence, that's what people buy a lot of the time." — Marc Reifenrath See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7IConnect with Marc Reifenrath: Website:https://spinutech.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/spinuserLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcreifenrath/ Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

How do we attract and retain A-players? And how do we build an A-player culture in a me-over-we environment? Today's guest knows that the number one asset of any successful company is the people, and he has joined the podcast to share his secrets of company culture success. Marc Reifenrath is the co-founder and CEO of Spinutech. Spinutech has grown from a university dorm start-up over 20 years ago to a multinational digital agency with 150-plus team members across the U.S. What does it mean to have the kind of company culture that attracts and retains top talent? From the beginning, Marc and the team at Spinutech aimed to shape their workplace as one that they wanted to work at. Since they aren't in the business of saving lives, they aim to have fun with the work they are doing. Leaders give their team permission to act, whether it's through yelling at employees or playing and having fun while working. As CEO, Marc has had to give up some of his favorite fun parts of his work, but that hasn't stopped him from striving to exemplify the company vision and motivate his team along the way. Even a merger hasn't slowed down the power of this team's culture. Marc reveals the secret of a successful merger — to treat everyone like it's their first day again — and the values that keep his company culture running strong. From attracting to retaining superior talent, Marc understands and shares how to find and keep the best person for any job.
