1. Which is more important?

A. Building your culture
B. Building your team

 

2. The only difference between a high-performance team and a high-maintenance team is what?

 

The answers are…

  • The first answer: Building your culture. Building culture is your King, your Queen.  It’s the reason people stay or leave your business.  Culture drives your success…or cripples it.  Really.

Cultures can be accidental, created without thought.  Cultures can be paper based, only existing on paper but not within how your Team operates.  And culture can be planned, developed.  Not just by you, with your entire Team.

  • The answer to the second question:  the only difference between a high-performance team and a high-maintenance team is a spelled-out culture, one that’s accountable, measured and owned by all.

How are you doing with your culture?  Is yours accidental, paper-based only  or developed by all, spelled-out and managed?

What would your culture look like if your business became the “business of choice” for the very best Team?

Go forth and do great things,
