Driving Results Through Culture

Today’s video features Good Comes First book co-authors Mark Babbitt and yours truly discussing what it takes to build and sustain an uncompromising work culture. Here’s an excerpt. Chris: Once leaders get to a stage where they realize “This is not sustainable. We’re not going to be able to attract the kind of talent we need. We’re not going to be able to manage using, you know, everybody around the conference room table so I can yell at you!” A toxic work culture doesn’t translate to global remote digital nomads, which, which in a lot of cases is what employees are able to do. We want leaders who understand that it could be better – who understand it could be different – to be able to look at our process. In essence, the process is three pieces.

The idea of, as you say, if leaders promote good comes first, they must make respect as important as results. W
