“I feel that you get the best work when you have a great environment, and you’re creating a place that people want to come, that’s inspiring. It’s about excellence, but it’s also about being transparent and straightforward, in a healthy environment.” Tory Burch, right, tells host Reid Hoffman about her company’s culture, nicknamed Buddy Values.
