Life is full of questions.
[3]
Most questions are small.
[5]
Oh. What's that smell?!
[7]
No no.
[8]
Where do you want to eat?
[10]
Wait what did you just say?
[11]
However some questions
[13]
--
[14]
Where's grandpa now? --.
[16]
Are big.
[16]
What if what we call ghosts
[18]
are actually aliens from another
[20]
dimension?
[20]
So,
[23]
do you
[24]
love me?
[26]
Of all the questions asked in the
[28]
business world, very
[30]
few are as big as 'What
[32]
is company culture?' So
[35]
what does company culture mean?
[37]
Well, there are a lot of definitions
[39]
out there. Some are good.
[40]
Some are not so good.
[42]
And some are, well,
[44]
incomplete.
[45]
It's
[51]
pretty common for people to
[52]
associate company culture with
[54]
things like benefits or perks.
[55]
It's so fun beating you...
[57]
Guys!
[58]
Some of us are trying to not
[60]
work here. OK?
[61]
Now this
[65]
is company culture!
[68]
These things can influence culture
[69]
for sure and hopefully they have
[71]
a positive impact.
[73]
But it's important to recognize that
[75]
company culture exists independent
[77]
of those things.
[78]
Now
[93]
this, is what I call company culture.
[93]
In
[101]
other words you can't just give your
[102]
employees a bunch of free stuff and
[104]
hope that those things equal
[106]
culture.
[107]
There are no shortcuts.
[112]
I thought you'd never ask.
[113]
There are a lot of good definitions
[115]
for company culture out there.
[116]
Company culture is the set
[118]
of standards and attitudes
[120]
that members of an organization
[122]
have in common.
[124]
Actually it's the shared
[126]
beliefs and purposes within an
[128]
organization.
[129]
That's what company culture is.
[131]
No no, you're both close but company
[133]
culture is the values and behaviors
[135]
that people in an organization agree
[137]
on.
[138]
I
[146]
didn't give up my semi-annual perm
[148]
for this...
[152]
Those are all fine answers.
[154]
Whether you call them values or
[156]
beliefs or whatever.
[157]
It is helpful to find
[159]
the common principles you aspire
[161]
towards. It helps make sense
[163]
of your culture and your people.
[167]
But even these definitions
[169]
ultimately fall short.
[170]
What?
[170]
These definitions
[172]
are close but there's something very
[174]
important that these types of
[175]
definitions forget.
[176]
Just spit it out skinny
[178]
boy! What is company culture?
[179]
Company culture
[182]
is ultimately about how we
[184]
treat each other. In fancy marketing
[186]
language, company culture is the
[188]
summation of how people within an
[190]
organization interact with each
[192]
other and work together.
[193]
Not bad.
[194]
Okay,
[199]
really what a company believes
[201]
or values isn't as important
[204]
as how they act.
[205]
Now it's still important to talk
[207]
about your culture.
[208]
In fact, as you communicate your
[210]
culture, may I suggest you do
[212]
that by defining these three things:
[214]
first, define your mission--in
[217]
other words, what is your purpose
[219]
beyond just making money?
[224]
Second, define your vision.
[227]
What is it you want to accomplish in
[228]
the long term?
[229]
Third, Define your values.
[232]
What are the fundamental beliefs you
[233]
share on how people should act and
[235]
be treated?
[237]
Defining these three things will
[238]
help you communicate your culture to
[240]
others.
[241]
But remember, company culture talk
[244]
is useless unless you walk the walk.
[247]
And no amount of brilliantly worded
[248]
mission statements or fun perks
[250]
can make up for a genuine culture
[253]
where people are treated with
[254]
respect.
[254]
He's joking.
[255]
Don't.
[255]
When you center your
[257]
culture efforts around people and
[259]
how they should be treated,
[262]
everything else falls into place.
[263]
This is what the best companies do.
[265]
They know that when you focus on
[267]
people it's clear what behaviors
[269]
and values.
[269]
And beliefs.
[270]
And beliefs
[272]
are truly important.
[274]
Focusing on people helps you know
[275]
which perks and benefits are
[277]
actually worthwhile to offer.
[279]
You know who to hire since you can
[280]
look for candidates who already
[282]
treat people the way you do.
[284]
And on the flip side you know who to
[286]
well let go.
[289]
We can go on and on discussing
[291]
company culture because there's so
[292]
much to it.
[293]
But the point is
[295]
this: cultures are made up of
[297]
people. So how you define
[299]
it and grow your culture should
[301]
depend on people.
[302]
How should your people treat each
[303]
other to be happy and engaged?
[306]
How should your people work together
[308]
to be fulfilled and successful?
[310]
Answer those questions first.
[312]
However you define your culture, if
[314]
you make sure your people have the
[316]
opportunities to grow professionally
[318]
and personally, chances are
[320]
everything will work out.
[322]
Now go out there and be
[324]
good to each other.
[330]
Mom what's company culture like in
[331]
heaven?
[331]
You
[332]
sure you wanna know, kid?
[336]
Hey, uh, What do you think?!
[337]
Never.
[337]
Yeah, it
[339]
figures.
[340]
You think he knows that he's
[342]
kissing an alien from the Gremulon
[345]
galaxy?
[345]
What is wrong with you!
