BOOST YOUR COMPANY’S CULTURE WITH
If you dive deep into the tactics of successful businesses and startups, a common thread among them is that culture reigns king. More and more
experience working with companies to execute cohesive strategies for building effective culture. Jeff Grimshaw, Tanya Mann, Lynne Viscio, and Jennifer Landis have witnessed company cultures of every type be successful and fail. They concluded that culture doesn’t cultivate from the many but, rather, is affected by the few. In this case, the few are the leaders of the business.
ARE YOU VIBING WITH YOUR Business?

The authors assert that leaders are, at every moment, transmitting signals to their
team, whether intentionally or not. Teams take cues from those who lead them, so if leaders aren’t dialed into the frequencies they’re giving off, they could be transmitting troublesome signals. Instead, leaders should always be dialed into their “vibes” and be particularly aware of five specific frequencies:

The first quarter of the year is quickly coming to an end. Are you on track to meet your goals and commitments for Q1? How is Q2 shaping up? How is the whole year looking? If everything is on track, congratulations! Now is the time to review what went well and why. Use your momentum to move to your next steps. If your goals are falling short, now is a good time to analyze why that is. Look at goals you previously accomplished or are on track to accomplish. What have you done to meet those goals? What did you have in place to make meeting those goals possible? Then look at the goals falling behind. What is holding you back? What obstacles are getting in the way of progress? How might you overcome those obstacles? How can you apply successful strategies to these goals? Practically every entrepreneur sets goals all the time. Setting goals is critical to growing as a professional, to growing your business, and for achieving the success you have in mind for yourself. The problem is, many goals are left unfulfilled because of flaws in the way the goals were set. Take, for example, the following flaws: ● The goals were unrealistic. They shot for the stars when they needed to shoot for the moon. ● They didn’t work as a team to see the goals through. Entrepreneurs often want to do everything themselves. Delegation, however, is a key to success. ● The goals weren’t clearly defined. They were left vague and without a solid plan for success.
● There wasn’t a tracking system in place. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are a good way to monitor progress and growth toward goals and other elements of your business. Looking back, did you give yourself or your team enough resources (time/material/capital) to complete the goals? Were the goals properly communicated? Did changes in your business, industry, or the economy impact your goals?
How can you recalibrate and get back on track?
If you need to recalibrate, make that an immediate focus. The longer you wait to adapt to changing circumstances, the longer it will take to get back on track. Even the best-laid plans can be disrupted by unforeseen circumstances. The more adaptable you can be, the better your outcome.
