At Google, employees are constantly motivated to explore new ways of organizing information and make improvements on existing ideas. A typical mission might be to become the market leader, but once this is accomplished, it’s no longer inspiring.

You can retain the best candidates by hiring people who are passionate about what you do and why you do it. However, if you pay them more than they expect or deserve, it won’t make them happy either.
