What’s the quickest way to boost your business’s performance significantly in a short period? Ask yourself, “What is your culture designed for?”
Culture is not just a buzzword; it’s the collection of visible behaviors that greet you when you enter a space.
Recently, I walked into a company struggling with the gap between constant movement and meaningful progress.
Despite their bustling activity, the challenge lay in the fact that people were just “doing” without a clear sense of the “right” next steps. A vivid illustration that busyness doesn’t always equate to productivity.
Remember, life acts as a mirror, and you are accountable not just for, but to some extent, causing the behaviors in your business.
If you’re unsatisfied with what you see, it’s time to reflect on how you contribute to those actions.
Here’s a hint: It’s intricately tied to what you permit, what you expect, how you communicate, and your choices in any given moment. If you desire a thoughtful culture, communicate when you pause to think things through. If punctuality is crucial, ensure you’re consistently on time—leading by example.
