As a leader, you are responsible for creating a positive workplace culture.
Your culture comes from what you care about. If you love people, then create a culture where people are respected.
If you want to see love, then love your people. If you want to see engaged people, then give them something that makes sense to them.
Give them reasons to come to work. If not, you are working alone. Because, according to Shawn Murphy, ‘Relating to human beings is troubling when you choose to not become more self-aware.’
‘A giver seeks to find ways to help people fulfill their needs, understand their wants, and realize their hopes.’
‘Collaboration is the active participation of people working jointly together.’
‘Connection is a relationship between people focused on and held together by evolving shared interests.’
‘Community is a unified group of people with a shared interest.’
‘The climate suffers when employees don’t believe their leader has their back.’
‘To notice what interests your employees isn’t a matter of culture. It’s a leadership choice.’
‘Employees are key partners in the success of the team and ultimately in the organization.’
‘Stewards use meaning to personalize the work experience.’
‘Resilience can be strengthened when a person has a sense of purpose.’
