COLIN ON CULTURE
Proper work
The real question isn't whether today's workers are doing proper work. The real question is whether today's leaders are creating proper working environments.
Is Too Much Culture Stuff a Bad Thing?
If your culture ‘stuff’ is getting in the way of your culture evolution then it’s time to simplify by focussing on what really matters and making sure you move from ticking boxes to taking ownership.
Employee activism is part of (not separate to) company culture
Instead of fearing Employee Activism, engage with your people to get their perspectives. Listen, consult, consider and then take action.
Is your organisation purpose-led or purpose lazy?
Purpose has become an important, and public, component of an organisation’s offering. A zingy line of copy is no longer doing it - people demand an organisation’s actions reflect its purpose.
Is your culture values-written or values-driven?
Values are statements that the culture holds to be true and an agreement of how they'll work together. They provide emotional direction and have to be specific to what the organisation and its people believe.
