Today's advice comes from our interview with Aaron Rudenstine, co-founder and president of CityMaps:
今天MBA小課堂的嘉賓是Citymaps的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人和總裁Aaron Rudenstine。

"In a small organization, there's nothing more important than culture. People tend to get fired up about their jobs when there's a dialogue that's trustworthy, friendly and doesn't require a intermediator or moderator."
“在一家小公司里，沒有什么比企業(yè)文化更重要的了。當(dāng)彼此之間的對話充滿了友好和信任，不再需要任何調(diào)解人時，人們的工作熱情也會被點(diǎn)燃。”

This is especially crucial at the beginning of forming any company when you're dealing with growing pains, Rudenstine says about his company CityMaps, which provides a social interactive map with aggregated information about local businesses.
CityMaps是一家提供社交地圖信息的網(wǎng)站，該網(wǎng)站主要向人們提供地區(qū)商業(yè)信息。Rudenstine談到他的公司CityMaps時表示，在公司伊始，你要處理很多公司成長過程中的問題，這個時候，企業(yè)文化尤其重要。

The Harvard-grad tell us that when you grow from three to 15 people in a short amount of time, it can be challenging for everyone in the company and personal connections help to pull the company through during these hard times.
哈佛的校友告訴我們，當(dāng)你的公司在短期內(nèi)由3個人成長為15個人的時候，這個時期對公司里的每個人都是艱難的挑戰(zhàn)，而良好的人際關(guān)系就會有助于公司度過這樣的困難時期。

"The personal connections that I forge with people I work with are really important to me. If you can create a culture where there's trust, respect and open dialogue, everything will run a lot more smoothly."
“與同事之間的人際關(guān)系對我來講很重要。如果你可以創(chuàng)造一種互信、開放、互相尊重的對話，很多事情就會變得更加順利?！?/div>
