Key Takeaways from Yuri Kruman:

“A lot of people that I work with, they’re very talented, they’re incredibly ambitious and motivated. But a lot of the time the may not have the awareness they need to have the mindset, have the tools, the language of psychology to really understand their people.”

“As a company grows, there’s less and less of this kind of communication flow. Information becomes stale by the time it reaches somebody who feels appreciated. And it just becomes a sausage factory. So that’s kind of my specialty to come into a sausage factory and put the pieces back together and say, ‘Okay, we’re all really humans. How do we create the systems and the mindset in order to build something even much greater?’“
