In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses what “culture” is and how to impact it.  One of the critical ideas to keep in mind when dealing with a business or team culture is that it takes longer to achieve/foster and it requires bigger risks.

Culture – whether you as a leader take the time to create it or not – is in your organization.  If the leaders are not taking part in the development of the culture, the culture will create itself through rumors, and the cementing of bad habits.  If the leaders help cultivate the organizational and team culture, it creates a better workplace, connects the people, and demonstrates the human aspects of the business.  Leaders also add critical emotional capital into the organization and the people by developing the culture.  When this is done, this culture creates a life line between the people, the Strategic Plan, and the goals of the organization.

• Are you cultivating the culture in your organization and teams?

• Do you have the culture you want??

• How are you actively teaching, training and coaching your people to build and reinforce the culture you want?
