Thoughts for
Incorporating the
Cultural Beliefs in
Our Work
Culture drives performance. With that in mind, our
beliefs need to be integrated into every employee-
related process. This includes everything from
strategic planning and goal setting to feedback
mechanisms. From the first interview to the last
day of work, every person should be constantly
reminded, and help to remind others, that the
cultural beliefs form the basis for every decision the
company makes.
Make storytelling part of every meeting. If we get
used to sharing stories that illustrate the cultural
beliefs, they will inspire new behaviors, and even new
habits, across the organization.
Physical environments must support, promote and
create the conditions for the cultural beliefs to be
in action everywhere and in every interaction. Think
about how you can make stories and ideas visible.
Our culture consists of the beliefs, values, and
behaviors that guide interactions between all people,
old and new. It is important to make sure experiences
from entry level employees to leadership positions
build off of the foundation of the cultural beliefs.
