"I just read an article about corporate culture, in which an employee expressed herself this way: 'If I want to be honest, let's say that I never really knew what corporate culture meant" she explains. She even adds: "For me, it's mostly bullshit. Words are stuck on the company's walls to make everyone feel better. Or things that feel a bit forced, like team lunches, where everyone smiles without wanting to be there."
So sorry to read this, because it can be different, it should be different, in a world in which all countries need strong companies creating more jobs!
Let me share this definition:
Culture is a set of behaviors expected, supported, reinforced, and valued by a large group over a long period.
Seeing is believing. Culture happens when leaders and managers "walk the talk", talk with their teams, ask the right questions, listen, share the company vision, and do it not once but every day or every week! This is how you inspire people to believe in their leaders and foster constructive behaviors at all levels of the organization.
Leaders, please understand that your people want to believe in you, not just in your words. Let's discuss the best way to engage your organization and department on the road to a new culture.
