Connect

Connections = culture

Organizations and communities are held together by the connections between individuals. A key leadership goal should be nourishing and nurturing the multidimensional connections that define your culture. You can do this by supporting meaningful linkages that are both broad and deep, and by providing employees with options to connect and foster deep relationships with one another.

Community transcends function

A company culture can only truly flourish if the human connections on which it is based rise above the functional. Community matters and real community can only exist when people matter to each other.

Celebrate – don’t wait

It is easy to get caught up in fast-moving events and the pressure to move onto the next goal … and the next…and the next. But if we don’t take the time to celebrate what we have achieved, we squander a vital source of energy and motivation. More than that, we lose an opportunity to add meaning and happiness to our lives. So pause, evaluate, and celebrate before taking that next step forward.
