The    

5  Tenets of Culture

Tenet  1:  Culture is Defined by Actions

The values of your employees drive their actions, which, in turn, define culture.

Tenet 2: Everyone Contributes to Culture

Values are what drive how work gets done, and every individual in your organization has a personal values system.

Thus, everyone’s values matter.

Tenet 3: Culture is Bottom Up and Top Down

It’s important for leadership to understand where they want to be with their cultural values, but they also need to understand where they are with the ones that are already present within the people who make up the organization - and focus on bringing those two pieces together.

Tenet 4: There is No One Right Culture

It is true that there are well-aligned cultures and misaligned cultures.

But it is important to remember that there are many different ways to succeed, and not all of them will follow the latest management bestseller.

Tenet 5:  Workers Rarely Conform to “Fit” New Culture

There are mountains of psychological research that prove that after your second decade on the planet, your personality and values are set.

Culture change efforts are rarely successful for this very reason. The expectation placed on people is too great.

The benefits of a well-aligned culture are waiting for you.
