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? Are your employees connected to them? Want to learn more about Daring to Flourish's core values, visit our website at https://lnkd.in/gEKtqPaG.

Ever wonder what it's behind a big company culture? Here's what surprised me after moving across the ocean (10,000km!), that Johnson & Johnson does consistently, no matter the location: 📢 Say it Loud & Repeat It Proud: Clear values and goals are key, even if things don't always go perfectly. ⚙ Embrace the Framework: Rules & constraints might not always feel fun, but they keep things on track at scale. 💶 Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is: Backing up your talk with action builds trust & keeps the company culture thriving.

👏 Congrats to Corporate Innovation Club - POLIMI Graduate School of Management for the great workshop on #CorporateCulture delivered last week! We appreciated how the speakers provided the overview on how #Culture connects with #Innovation, and the exchanges with the audience during the aperitif.🥂 In case it sparks ideas for future workshops: 👇 ✅ Things that resonated with Titogo: - instill an innovation-supportive culture requires working on several aspects (e.g. organization, processes, procedures, skills, measurement); - companies must be aware of what's "visibile" against what's deep and more difficult to address (e.g. beliefs, attitude, values); - openess and acceptance of failure are necessary to move the needle; 🧠 Things we wished to exchange more (if time'd allowed): - Different approaches according to company size (startups vs corporate), and combining what works best within each of those; - Shift from theory/models to effective execution; - Combining top-down guidance with buttom-up agility and creativity; - Addressing cultural differences when working with external organizations (e.g. open innovation, joint-ventures, M&A); But loved the event, and looking forward to join future ones. Hopefully next time with some more exchange and use-cases... and if you wish, we are happy to join the other side of the fence 😉 #Innovation #CulturalChange #Culture #People #Engagement #Leadership

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.

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 🔥

Last Thursday, our “Preceptorship Course” kicked off with two powerful questions: “What are the reasons you are working for this organization?” and “What do you know about this company?” As I sat there, I momentarily felt a blankness in my mind. Having been with the company for over a decade, I paused to reflect on what has kept me here for so long. Through introspection, I realized I hadn’t fully articulated to my students or new colleagues why I take such pride in being part of this organization. We consistently receive fantastic feedback from our clients, and our employees have remained happy and engaged for years. During the session, I shared insights about my daily experiences and the expectations of our roles. However, I overlooked a crucial aspect: the work culture that inspires us to excel and positions our organization as a leader in our field. It’s this culture that fuels my pride and gratitude for having spent so many fulfilling years here. Even when the routine can feel tiring, it’s important to pause and reflect on what brought us here and how it has shaped us. Each of us plays a role in maintaining our organization’s legacy of excellence. Let’s continue to celebrate our journeys and inspire one another! #Workculture #Leadership #Inspiration #EmployeeEngagement
