I'm a people person; I like the folks I work with. But let's draw a line. They are NOT my family. Sure, I may spend more time with them than my family some days. But they won't weep with me at the loss of a grandparent. They don't help plan my children's birthdays and celebrate life's most joyful moments with me. They don't join me on Sunday mornings in fellowship with God.
They are my colleagues and my teammates. Let's stop using this inauthentic communication and be real. If you want to build a culture of accountability and have people willing to invest time and care into your business, then take action to do so. Here are a few tips for building a strong culture:
- Treat adults like adults.
- Have real and meaningful conversations.
- Don't stray away from hard discussions.
- Ensure you have strong communication across your organization.
- Give teams the tools they need to do their best work.
- Encourage departmental team-building experiences.
- Don't call employees "family" 😏
Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
This is a great reminder
