Company Culture—Laws
Some Company Culture Maxims
- There is no event in a vacuum. To understand an event, look at its context.
- The event is not the problem. The person is not the problem. The system is the problem.
- What people do reflects the culture. Culture is established by its leaders. What people do is information about the leaders.
- The purpose of human systems is to serve people. If people are the subject, not the object—if people are put first—productivity will flow.
- Don’t involve people just to solve problems. Use problem solving to involve people.
- You can’t have a safe workplace if you don’t have safe meetings.
I would like to expand this list. If you have a favorite you would like to add, please email me at barry@meridiangrp.net.
I look forward to hearing from you.
