There is a revolution taking place in organizations where new ideas are encouraged and applauded. Employees feel they can make important contributions to their success.
Before we pull the curtain to reveal the magic of building a culture, it will help to disclose a few discoveries I made while working with three developing organizations.
When employees flourish the company develops a competitive advantage. Employees who are engaged, committed to each other, committed to the success of the company, provide better results better than their competitors.
At some point in your life and work, you likely developed a strong sense of what success looks like for you. You realized who you want to be, and perhaps, where you fit. The challenge for all of us, of course, is setting our course and finding our way.
What’s the first description that comes to mind when you think about your organization’s culture? Hopefully not toxic because ultimately, toxic can kill you.
Positive people seem to attract other positive people and create a kind of energy that others want to be around. Those with a more negative outlook seem to attract others who are looking to share complaints.
