How can you identify candidates with a strong customer focus?
If you can, add a customer interaction as part of the interview process. Have the candidate respond to a customer support email, have them take a customer service call, or have a customer interview the candidate and share their perspectives. There’s no replacement for actual observation of behavior and attitude in practice. Action speaks louder than words.

How can entrepreneurs benefit from mentor evaluations?
Having a mentor for my startup changed everything for me. Being able to candidly discuss our challenges and gain valuable advice and counsel, at times, made the difference between life and death for our company. In my experience, the mentor may be a board member or not. What is critical is that the mentor truly has your back, has a wealth of wisdom and experience, and is willing to be there for you when you need them.

How can entrepreneurs create a sense of belonging in the workplace?
Building community is critical at the outset for creating a sense of belongingness. From celebrating the small moments and milestones - both personal and professional - to getting to know each other at a human level to having each other’s back, community takes many shapes and forms. A strong community makes a strong team makes a strong startup.
