Everyday Actions to Improve Your Company’s Culture

Sometimes creating the right company culture can feel hard. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be.

Here are three simple everyday actions leaders can take to improve culture:

1. Talk about your mission, vision, and values

Leaders can never talk about their mission, vision, and values enough. Reinforcing, explaining, and sharing the mission, vision, and values in different ways each day will help create clarity and align your team.

2. Catch people doing something right

Often, leaders are trained to find the bad and correct it.  Instead, look for the good and praise it.  Recognizing people who are doing the right thing each day will improve morale and engagement.

3. Spend time with your people

At times, leaders get trapped in their office or spend much of their time behind a desk.  This does little to help your culture.  Instead, take time each day getting to know your team better, even if it is just for 5 or 10 minutes. Leaders who take time each day to be with their team find that those they lead feel more valued and connected to the organization.

Simple everyday actions that leaders take shape a culture.  Don’t underestimate the profound impact these three daily practices can have on results.
