Part 1: The 9 Step Framework Top Companies Use to Build Culture
#39 - Is there such a thing as a “bad” workplace culture? How can you bring your team together to work toward a shared future? What role do leaders play in building culture? In this 2-part series, Shane breaks down the 9 step framework CultureSmith uses to “smith” a culture. First, Shane explains what a culture actually is (a lot of us get this wrong), then we cover the first 4 steps of the framework: Shared Future, the Cognitive Colours, Uncommon Norms, and Emotional Literacy.
