I entirely agree that creating a set of values to form the backbone upon which a company can grow is vitally important. All growing companies know how difficult it is to find the right staff. But you are right to point out that fitting into a new work environment is not just about having the right skills for the job, but also about sharing in the values. Getting buy-in from existing staff can be just has hard, but is important in nurturing the kind of atmosphere you describe.
