Within a business I would want to work for, I'm looking for an environment that is inviting for myself and those who work beside me. Heck, who wouldn't want a job where it didn't feel like job and just had fun doing what they love? Desk monkeys are always made fun of in films and tv shows, such as Office Space and The Office. Whatever I chose to focus on for my business, even if it was a business that was bought and not started by myself, I would want it to be somewhere that people longed to work. From business I admire walls and cubicles don't exist. Who wants to be secluded in a box? Humans are naturally drawn to other humans. Why would you want to block out ideas and collaboration on a project and put everyone in a board room when it comes to crunch time? How about everyone is in that environment all the time, creating and growing at the same time. Creating relationships within a company retains employees.A great example of this is the layout is at Bungie Studios (Creators of Halo and its sequels) in Redmond, WA. The only wall that exists is between art and programming for a dividing line. Leveling the playing field for all my base employees would be a starting point. I like to see those who want to exceed, thrive above and beyond the norm. Incentives don't have to mean just cash bonuses.
