Importance of Focusing on Culture
In the book You Win in the Locker Room First, Jon Gordon, the co-author, states, “Culture drives expectations and beliefs, expectations and beliefs drive behaviors, and behaviors drive habits.”
Building a constructive workplace culture is a key driver of organizational success. Without a solid culture, there are no pathways that define how significant choices are made, acting as a guidepost to center you as a team.
A workplace’s culture reflects the values that have been instilled in it, either set by leadership or developed organically over time.
Leaders play a crucial role in shaping a positive and affirming culture that works. This is a skill that must be put into practice in every meeting, phone call, and decision-making process.
