“We know, we know. He
is adorable. All small
and yellow and fluffy…
…Don't be fooled. Yes,
he is a great listener.
But inside that
innocuous adorable
blonde package exists
tons - indeed, whole
square miles - of
naughty. “
“Want your kids to grow up
with a full complement of
fingers and toes? Not the dog
for you.”
“He's super loyal, easy in the
house and a lot of fun but he's a
little rough around the edges.
Actually he's kind of a jerk.
But he's a jerk we believe in…”
“The highest ranked [most candid] companies have consistently
outperformed the market on average by 6.0 percent over the past
decade and by 9.5 percent over the past five years.”
2014 Rittenhouse Rankings
CEO and Candor & Culture Survey
