Want to know the secret to our amazing culture? It's simple: leadership that lives and breathes our values. When the top sets the example, it creates a ripple effect that permeates every aspect of our organization. (Shoutout to Kevin "KD" Dorsey for chatting about the importance of company culture with Brandon Bornancin)

It is important for an organization to be clear on and establish values for several reasons. It helps ensure that employees are connected to the culture, find purpose in their work, and everyone is working toward the same goals. So when Daring to Flourish was created, we spent time thinking through what was really important, what type of impact we were passionate about creating with our work, and how we wanted to lead. We believe in: - Putting People First 🥇 - Leading with Heart ❤️ - Values-based Leadership ✨ - Commitment to Learning & Leading 📚 - Innovation with Intent 💡 What are your organization's values?

DAY ONE: 12 DAYS OF DIFFERENCE On the first day of difference, our stakeholders said to us... Put purpose at the heart of everything you do. Every decision, every process, every client engagement, every onboarding, every moment of recognition, every board meeting, every strategy day, every product design. Put your purpose in the constitution on one hand, and make it the language people use over cups of tea in the kitchen, on the other. Purpose sits at the heart of every sustainable business in the future of leadership. Creating a world of difference is the work we wake up for every day. To find out more about our '12 days of difference' campaign, follow along by following us at Future Leadership, leading today with tomorrow in mind.

Listening to The Modern People Leader pod and I LOVE how Simon Taylor explains the delineation between values and culture. Both are connected but organizations can trip themselves up when they think of them as the same. ✅Values are the “true north” of the organization and don’t change very much. They are the way the organization operates and thinks. ✅Culture can and should change based on the strategy. Culture needs to be compatible with the values, but the behaviors and mindset shown every day are what support the strategy. So many companies and leaders struggle with this concept, but this is a great way to apply it to your organization. Daniel Huerta and Stephen Huerta never disappoint 🔥

There’s a difference between a truly toxic company culture and culture fit. The definition of toxic in itself could be a subjective argument, but high-level—it’s an environment or person that creates a sense of negative behaviors and practices. But fit? Harry may thrive in a speedy start-up with laissez-faire leadership while Ron digs a corporate, hierarchical structure with formal process. One isn’t right—it’s just right for you.

The stakes for solving the culture puzzle seem to be rising. Culture starts with the actions of its leaders. For the Board, that’s more than simply selecting and installing a CEO. Unlock the Board’s advantage in creating the culture that’s needed to achieve the company’s objectives. https://lnkd.in/eCSnVsdY #strategy #leadership #boardsofdirectors #culture
