Start here, Start With Your Core Values …

What are the most important ingredients in a successful company culture? A vision and mission that reflects YOUR core values, a team of people who complement those values. Cultivate an atmosphere and culture that fosters trust, compatibility and cooperation. Utilize each person’s skills and strengths by making sure they are working in the position that suits them the best.

How do you create this for your business, to be sure you build a team who works well together? One way is to be sure an individual’s skill set is a good match with their role in the company.

One mistake I see made frequently is a person placed in a position based on an immediate need in the business rather than on this person’s particular talent and strengths. This often creates some resentment and lowers efficiency in that area. Why not make the most of each person’s gifts and skill set to maximize their efficiency and also know you are fostering a satisfying work environment.

Emphasize core values

Grow your team organically

Create healthy working relationships

Be funny, take risks, be authentic
