Check out last week’s newsletter: Is Servant Leadership Real?

Leadership Culture

When you hear the word culture what’s the first thing that you think of?

Do you think of senior leaders or c-suite leaders?

That’s definitely a large portion of it but leaders in middle management and individual contributors are a big factor in culture as well!

Merriam Webster defines culture as, “the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization.”

Let’s hone in on shared practices, so what does that mean? That involves multiple people not just the senior leaders.

Don’t get me wrong c-suite leaders and senior leaders set the tone, but it’s up to us as middle management leaders and individual contributors to buy into the vision as well!

Keep that in mind when you complain about a culture to make sure you’re not also contributing to it!
