Just like when you enter a workplace that has a poor culture, the energy (vibe) inside a thriving workplace is not only palpable, it’s also observable (and therefore, measurable).
What a thriving culture looks like from the inside:
- Positive vibe/energy; excitement; high-5’s and recognizing others is common practice
- People know what’s expected of them: quality, deadlines, hand-offs, urgency/prioritization
- Employees have the tools & resources to do their job with excellence
- Zero tolerance for toxic attitudes & behaviors
- People want to work there; they are drawn to the concept of working for a great company
- There are abundant opportunities for growth
- Values are present & observable in meeting rooms, workspaces, and everywhere in between
- People at all levels have open & honest communication with each other
- Feedback is a daily occurrence, something that employees desire, and do not fear
- People are excited to share information and collaborate with each other
- Individual & team excellence is encouraged and recognized
- Leaders are constantly looking for and developing other new leaders
- There is a sense of urgency, but not hurriedness; stress is low
- Employees have a sense of ownership over decisions…
When you lead thru values, you’re communicating at the level of trust:
