If Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast, We Need to Feed It Well!

We all love a strategy session. Post-its on the wall, bold revenue goals, mission statements... But if your culture’s off, even the smartest strategy will fall flat! 🤦🏼‍♀️
​
Is this an issue you might be facing❓

You’re not alone!

Here’s some quick, practical advice…

Start by defining the behaviours you don’t want, as well as those you do. Then model them – relentlessly! 

Recognise team members who live those values. And be ready to challenge toxic top performers.

To give you an example, I worked with a fast-growing tech firm in Bristol. Great product, but toxic competitiveness had crept in. Bonuses were encouraging individual wins, not team wins. 

We restructured incentives around team performance and introduced regular peer recognition sessions. One standout coder left (not happy!), but morale soared, and collaboration improved dramatically. 💞

Within six months, delivery time dropped by 20%, and client satisfaction rose! 🔥

Culture isn’t fluff. It’s your operating system!
