> I think it's the exact opposite. Their employees work because they've figured out a great culture, and they value it highly, and hold it as sacred. That's a company value, not an employee value. It's shared, and it comes from the whole group, glued together by the resolve of a leadership that knows it.
I think one can tell a lot about companies and people by the way they hire. Is their attitude extractive or do they act to preserve and create value? I think a lot of people greedily seek A-Listers because they've heard that's the way to succeed and make money. To me, that's sort of like people who start playing a new genre of music because it's now cool. The real value is in people who are passionate for deeper reasons.
