I know I've said it time and again that I will start posting regularly. I am going to now say that I will post when I post :). Hopefully regularly. I guess what would help would be to acknowledge that I have meaningful subjects to write about. With that in mind, I had an aha! moment. I accepted the responsibility and filled in for a coworker who was unable to host an event at work. My company hosts a business class a few times a year and I was able to attend/help host the event. Listening to the content it got me thinking...
Many companies like to say that they have a "company culture". I believe they are speaking the truth when they state that they have a company culture. But, do they really understand what kind of culture they are encouraging and promoting? I think that some may actually practice what they preach, but others may not practice anything and actually promote the opposite what they preach.
I am going to start reading more about company culture. I found a really interesting article: 7 Ways You Can Impact Company Culture and they recommended a book called Valve Employee Handbook. I'm going implementing #2 and #3 and see if that ellicits some change. I know that I have become a bit less tolerant of some. I am curious to see if I change my behaviors, will it in turn help change theirs. #5 & #6 will be difficult. #5 because many of the upper management team are the root of the problem which leads to #6 because the upper management team at my company are related (e.g. mother, sisters, and daughters). I will be patient which is #7. Change doesn't happen overnight.
What are some of the ways you are going to try to implement to help positively impact your company culture?
