These are our two bold assumptions:
We’d like to let you know that we have created this program (and this page) based on two bold assumptions.
The first is that you don’t need convincing that workplace culture has an impact on your behaviour, and the behaviour of your team.
The second assumption is that you understand that regardless of who you are, what industry you work in, or what you sell, your company has a culture of something.
If you relate to these two assumptions, please read on.
How often do you experience ‘people problems’ and how does that impact your day?
One thing we've learned from working with 1000’s of founders, business owners and leaders, is how many are unaware that the culture of their company, is the root cause of their people problems.
These people problems commonly show up as poor productivity, bad customer service, deadline blowouts, PR nightmares, harassment, bullying, or the experience of distrust, conflict and tension.
People problems make work feel a lot harder than it has to be.
Take a moment to think about how these types of people problems impact your day, your experience of work, and the results you produce.
It takes more than perks, amazing pay and benefits to create great culture.
Some believe that creating great culture is about free lunches, ping pong tables, big bonuses, and health care plans.
Although the ‘golden handcuffs’ work to attract and keep top talent, there’s one factor that will make or break the culture in any company.
You see, it’s not just the perks that create great culture, but the way in which each team member relates to them. Just like how appeasing children with the toys they desire won’t guarantee that they will appreciate them, or be better behaved.
The Art of Culture explores what drives human behaviour and what you can do to craft a culture consistent with your vision.
Just a heads up — you MAY NOT be ready for the Art of Culture.
The Art of Culture explores feelings, values and beliefs, and the role they play in shaping the culture of your company.
It will require courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to tell the truth about your experience of life.
We will support you throughout the program, however if a journey of self-discovery is not what you’re looking for, the Art of Culture may not be for you.
The Art of Culture is Chapter 1 of 6 from the Art of Business — helping leaders and their teams develop emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and conscious choice at work.
