Your company’s culture is dwindling. What can be done; how did it get this way? Maybe it was never really there to begin with, or just lost in the shuffle of everyday life. Whatever the case…
Written by Jack Arnold and William Gibbs
When a company has no set values, motives, mission, and goal you’re looking to produce failure not production in the long run. Without these you’ll have radicals in the organization tearing out the fiber of your very existence.
What is company culture anyway? Culture:
Webster’s dictionary says it this way:
(The shared set of attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization;
The set of values, conventions, or social practices associated with a particular field, activity, or societal characteristic.)
Is everyone in the company on the same team oriented mind –set? Are you all reaching for the same goals with the same attitude? Not many companies are. Granted some are more-well to do than others, at least they have the appearance they do. A few that do have it together are Southwest, Virgin, and Apple. They have built their organizations on culture first, production second.
One may feel it’s too late to change now; we’ve been on this road too long to turn back now. It’s never too late! If your doors are open today you still have the chance to change. You need to take the first step. That would be linear adjustment in attitude, character, values, company motive and goals. Without these key ingredients you are destined to fail.
* Everyone knows his skilled primary function, cross-training applies.
*All employees need to have a positive attitude about their job/career. You don’t need negativity in the work place; and don’t make room for it.
*Character is built on non-compromise. If you compromise even the little things, the character of the organization is flawed.
*Don’t waiver on true values. Your production level of quality should be at its very best.
*Everyone should be on the same page with a common goal.
We want to strive for a common goal and the betterment of the company; not just customer satisfaction but also employee satisfaction, from the CEO on down the line to the very last person. The up-side to all of this is:
Vender satisfaction- they know exactly what and when you have a need,
Customer satisfaction- they know they’ll have quality parts in a quantifiable time,
Self (company) satisfaction- the ROI in progress is monumental.
