Daniel Todd's journey into understanding the importance of team dynamics and corporate culture began with a pivotal experience in his early entrepreneurial days. He candidly recounts the challenges of hiring salespeople with a focus solely on their skills, which resulted in a toxic work environment and almost led to the downfall of his company. This humbling experience became the catalyst for a fundamental shift in his approach to team building. Daniel's realization that working with people who embody a positive and collaborative spirit significantly enhances the work environment has since shaped his philosophy on hiring for cultural fit.
