This thought removes greed from the equation while operating in a business environment. While financial performance is important, contributing to the community in which it operates in is as important. It’s about paying it forward and distributing value accordingly.

I really enjoy reading your articles!

I would feel very awkward asking to meet the team before getting hired which means I couldn’t answer question #2. When the interviewer offers the position, I doubt he/she will allow you to talk to the staff about all this. People usually say yes or no right then, sometimes “can I get back to you?” I don’t believe any of these questions can be answered unless you’re actually working there. These are things you learn over time as an employee, not someone who hasn’t even started working there.
