Summary Notes on Company Culture

  • Building company culture
    • Culture emanates from the corner office
    • Culture addresses three main questions:
      • What is your strategy?
      • What is your vision?
      • What is your mission?
    • Vision must be communicated succinctly
  • How can culture deteriorate?
    • Culture deteriorates when people get confused about company’s go-to market strategy
      • Leadership should not respond to every opportunity with undifferentiated enthusiasm
      • Management needs to hone culture around targets
    • Ultimate downfall occurs when leaders say one thing and do another
