Building a Winning Culture: Establishing a Clear Purpose

Image
In previous posts I have looked at building safety and sharing vulnerability which are two components to building a winning culture. A winning culture is one where people want to work at the company they are at. It is where, in your personal relationships that people want to be with you. The third component to building a winning culture is to establish a clear purpose. I clear purpose is critical to guide the actions and decision making within a company or in relationships.

Here’s another look at sharing vulnerability to build on the previous post. A winning culture starts inside of you.
