Culture is Built Tough

The basis of what makes for a successful company is culture. A good culture is what encourages people to think, act, do and perform the way you would most likely want them to. Be a good employee. I think that everyone wants good employees, right?

But what is “good” or “awesome”? Nobody is those things. They become it. The culture creates a platform from which people can feed and build on each other until they are “good”.

Unfortunately, culture also isn’t something you can decide to shape to your liking. It is not built by what you give or provide. It is built by what you don’t do. It is often irreversible. It is guaranteed not to exist when you establish the expectation that you are not allowed a list of things to do or the expectation that you don’t have the support you need to be good.
