How To Create A Healthy Workplace Culture

2021-03-15T07:48:34-05:00

A healthy workplace culture is at the heart of success within every organization. Patrick Lencioni has often referred to organizational health as “the last competitive advantage.” In today’s world, it’s not enough to just be smart, develop a good strategy, work hard, and offer a great product or service. These are necessities to survive. Companies that hope to not only survive but thrive must also establish a healthy organizational culture. Just as proper eating and regular exercise can help you maintain your personal health, there are certain things leaders must do to keep their workplace culture healthy.

Two Reasons We Must Be Grateful

2018-11-19T16:31:51-06:00

Most of us know we should be grateful, but it can be hard at times to remember. Here are two good reasons why we must all make it a priority in our life and why we must always remember to be grateful. #1 For You The first reason why we should be grateful is because of you and how it impacts your life. Numerous studies on gratitude have shown that those who are thankful experience more positive emotions, develop deeper relationships, feel more alive, sleep better, have more energy, express more compassion and kindness to others, and even have [...]

Too Important To Be Kind

2018-11-15T20:20:27-06:00

"You are never too important to be kind." I recently read this on a sign somewhere and felt it was very applicable to us as leaders. It’s easy to get caught up in all that is going on. With important decisions to make, deadlines to meet, issues to address, meetings to attend—things are just busy and stressful! Because of all this, it can be hard to remember to be kind. However kindness is a key ingredient to creating a healthy organization. At thecultureguide.com we often refer to this kindness as charity. We all are touched and attracted [...]

3 Ways to Overcome Fear

2018-11-15T16:51:39-06:00

It’s the week of Halloween so it only seems fitting to talk about fear. But let’s not talk about the fun fear we experience during this time of year that gets our hearts pumping and our adrenaline flowing. What I want to focus on is the more common and often times debilitating negative fear. So let me ask you, have you ever been afraid? We all have fear at some point in time so none of us are alone in this. The problem is fear limits our perspective on life and keeps us from doing what we ought [...]

Redefining Superheroes

2018-11-15T16:50:37-06:00

Have you ever wanted to be a superhero? Yeah me too. It never happened for me though. At least not in the way I thought it would…. Maybe you are like me. Let me try and explain. At times when I talk to leaders about their careers many express or even lament the fact that they aren’t in a more service-oriented occupation. A doctor, firefighter, civil or military officer, humanitarian, or clergy member seems to them to be occupations where they could truly serve the greater good and actually contribute and help humanity. These are often the professions [...]

Surprising Discovery About Workplace Culture

2021-04-05T13:34:31-05:00

Is there one kind of workplace culture that trumps all others? One specific type of culture that each organization should be trying to establish for the absolute best results? This is a question I’ve asked myself many times over my career. I’ve come to the conclusion that the answer is a resounding NO. This answer might surprise you. It did me. You see I wanted to believe that one specific kind of culture held the silver bullet that could unlock organizational success. That one particular culture could lead to greatness. That there was only one specific culture that everyone should [...]

A Case For Company Culture

2021-04-05T13:13:02-05:00

Culture is the number one way to improve performance within any organization. Many leaders I talk to believe they can’t do much to change the culture of their organization because they are only a department head, supervisor, or only lead a small team within a larger organization. I’m here to tell you that’s not true. If lead people, than you can have a dramatic impact on culture. Let me share a personal story with you. Shortly after graduating from college I found myself leading a department within a hospital in the Washington DC area. Though I always wanted to work [...]

Love Your Mondays!

2021-04-05T13:09:29-05:00

This is my first AMAZING Monday and I must confess, I love Mondays! Maybe because it’s a new week and a fresh start, maybe because I like to root for the underdog and go against the grain a little bit, or maybe it’s because I’ve made the choice to love Mondays. The truth is, all of these are true. I do love Mondays because there is so much potential in them, so many things to accomplish, and so much to do for the week. Though some wait for a new year, I love Mondays because they are a new beginning [...]
