ABC Culture
The question is not “if” you are creating a culture, but instead, “what kind of” culture are you creating? I once worked with an organization who had degenerated from an incredibly healthy culture to a toxic damaging one. The reason for the shift was how the new leader of the organization chose to lead. The environment changed from a servant leadership model to a dictatorial ego-driven model. The results were devastating.
Creating a positive and effective environment is as easy to understand as ABC. Our Actions plus our Beliefs equal our Culture. While it sounds simple, in reality it takes intentional work and perseverance to create and sustain a healthy culture.
Think about your home. What kind of environment are you creating? Saying one thing and doing another will result in a low trust, highly skeptical atmosphere. If we say we believe in strong communication but refuse to find time for meaningful dialogue, we create a disconnect between our words and deeds. This is a recipe for toxicity in our relationships.
In our professional and personal lives, learning how to create a strong culture is essential for success. I invite you to take a moment and listen to the Crossing The Line podcast. On this edition, I break down the ABCs that lead to strong relationships.
When our actions and beliefs align, we will make a difference.
