The shape of your culture determines the success of your business.
Read this to learn how to create a wildly successful work culture:
Apple is an excellent example of the power of culture.
Even when they were just two people (Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak), they knew the kind of culture they wanted to create, influencing everything they did.
Their culture paved the way for their future success and continues to fuel Apple's current growth and success.
Leaders at Apple are famous for saying "Culture Beats Strategy."
Of course, strategy is essential, but ultimately, your culture will determine if your strategy is successful.
I've witnessed the power of culture firsthand and its impact on the performance of sports teams, schools, hospitals, and businesses.
Culture not only beats strategy it also fuels it.
When you have a strong culture in place, it gives you a significant competitive advantage.
It allows you to attract and retain the best talent and motivates and inspires people to do their best work.
If you want to create a successful organization, make sure you have a strong culture in place.
It's the foundation that everything else is built on.
So here's the million-dollar question.πŸ‘‡
How do you build a strong culture?
It starts with having the right people in place.
You need to hire people who fit your culture and are passionate about your mission.
You also need to invest in developing your people and helping them grow.
And finally, you need to hold everyone accountable for living up to your culture.
If you do all these things, you'll be well on your way to building a strong culture that will give you a competitive advantage. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ˜Ž
"Culture is not something that can be created overnight; it takes time, patience, and intentionality." – Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos
To have the right culture, you need to hire the right people.
How do you hire the right people?
It starts with clearly understanding the culture you want to create.
Once you know what kind of culture you want, you can start looking for people who fit that description.
You can also use cultural fit as a criterion when conducting interviews.
Train and develop your people once hired.
Helping them understand your culture and what it means to be part of it will go a long way in ensuring they live up to your expectations.
Summary:
1. Culture beats strategy
2. Know what kind of culture you want
3. Hire people to match that culture
The skills of your employees are essential.
But I dare say the culture they bring is more important.
I can teach someone almost any skill, but I can change who they are as a person.
