Today's advice comes from our interview with Aaron Rudenstine, co-founder and president of CityMaps:
今天MBA小课堂的嘉宾是Citymaps的联合创始人和总裁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，没有什么比企业文化更重要的了。当彼此之间的对话充满了友好和信任，不再需要任何调解人时，人们的工作热情也会被点燃。”

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是一家提供社交地图信息的网站，该网站主要向人们提供地区商业信息。Rudenstine谈到他的公司CityMaps时表示，在公司伊始，你要处理很多公司成长过程中的问题，这个时候，企业文化尤其重要。

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.
哈佛的校友告诉我们，当你的公司在短期内由3个人成长为15个人的时候，这个时期对公司里的每个人都是艰难的挑战，而良好的人际关系就会有助于公司度过这样的困难时期。

"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."
“与同事之间的人际关系对我来讲很重要。如果你可以创造一种互信、开放、互相尊重的对话，很多事情就会变得更加顺利。”
