you doing and why? It’ll give you a really strong foundation to explore the
values and behaviours you need everyone to live by to make it happen.
Walk the walk,
talk the talk
Senior leaders play a really important part in how your company culture is
shaped and how your values and behaviours are taken up to support it.
Make sure they’re leading by example.
Take
up the
challenge
If your values and behaviours are not being embraced by all it’ll soon get
picked up. Left to fester, a lot of work could be undone. Challenge this in
a way that will engage not isolate – you could end up with one of your
strongest advocates in return.
Live it Your values and behaviours should run through everything you do – use them
as a guide to support decision-making at every level. They should be second
nature to your people and a real foundation to your culture.
