How often do you talk about your culture? Part of amplifying the aspirations and the stories is being strategic about how you communicate. Some of the best cultures have leaders who do this daily—and some do it in every single meeting! Mark and Randy wrap up the week talking about strategic repetition in communicating your vision for your organization's culture.
People will watch the leader to set the example. People also listen to the leader, and the stories a leader tells about people who embody the cultural aspirations will help amplify and multiply the culture you're trying to create.
Once you decide what you want your culture to aspire to, what's next? The second rule of building culture: amplify. Leaders must consciously and purposefully look for ways to reinforce those aspirations. And the first part of amplifying your cultural aspirations is to be the example. Your team will follow what you do—and that's a good thing, if you're doing the right things.
Do you know what kind of culture you want to have? Great! Have you shared that with anyone? Culture is not all about ping pong tables and nap pods (unless those help you build the kind of culture you're after). Painting a clear picture for your organization's culture and sharing it with your team is the first rule of building culture.
