The Secret Weapon CEOs Use for Building Good Organizational Culture
Hello, December! ‘Tis the season to take the holiday ornaments out from storage, dust off the family recipe cookbooks, string the Christmas lights and engage in all the holiday traditions that we have come to know and love.
Like tradition, an organization’s culture is an expression of its values. But unlike family traditions, a positive work culture cannot only be focused on ways to make employees feel good. It must also focus on staying in alignment with its purpose.
And unfortunately, many companies get this wrong.
Unlike what they think, a winning work culture is designed to help employees perform better, not feel better and you do this by:
Identifying what is unique about your business
Creating passion for what your team is working towards achieving
Displaying performance that aligns with this objective
Reinforcing the “right” employee behaviours
A winning culture includes:
A healthy level of employee engagement,
Clarity in communication
High levels of productivity
Who is responsible for Building the Culture?
The CEO is the main driver of an organization’s culture and along with the Executive management team, they are ultimately responsible for establishing and maintaining the culture designed to attain its objective and be its source of competitive advantage. They ensure that their teams are equipped with the tools, skills and knowledge to operate at optimal levels and can in turn see to the overall development of ALL their team members.
The Secret Weapon
Some leaders fail or fall short of this, which can result in a toxic work environment with disengaged employees.
The companies and leaders I work with recognize the importance of leadership coaching as a powerful tool and secret weapon for improving results year after year as well as improving the health of their organization.
I work with managers and executives to help them unlock their full potential so they can lead more effectively and improve productivity and profitability.
What type of culture is present or developing within your company? If you think that your company needs a culture shift, now is the time to get started on this life-changing work of developing your leadership. Achieve Bad A** Boss Leader status and a winning company culture.
