People with negative attitudes at your office can bring down the whole team.

"There are just some people with bad attitudes. We call them 'bozos,'" says Ryan Urban, the co-founder of marketing platformBounce Exchange.

Urban voiced his advice during a panel about culture moderated by David Shanklin of CultureIQ, a culture engagement platform andEntrepreneur'spartner for theTop Company Cultures list. The panel consisted of two of last year's winners from our Top Company Culture list -- Ben Kirshner, the CEO of digital marketing agencyElite SEM, and Urban-- and Chana Fitton, the COO of seed firmThe Rippel Foundation.
