At a certain point, growing businesses become obsessed with committees.
Or worse, subcommittees.
Or working groups.
It’s a natural progression of a military-style hierarchy structure. And while that may be the most efficient process to accomplish tasks – or win wars – it doesn’t work for a key element of your business.
That’s culture.
Too many companies create a committee charged with “improving the culture.” Typically, this leads to popcorn on Fridays, or company bowling night, or picnics, or… any number of well-intentioned gatherings.
That’s not culture. That’s a “try to make people happy committee.”
It’s not that Popcorn Fridays are a bad thing. But it’s not going to solve culture problems.
The good news?
You already have a culture committee. It’s called your leadership team.
And the leadership team can’t delegate culture. Defining who you are and what you do is their most important job.
It’s leading by example. It’s how you do what you do.
Popcorn Fridays aren’t going to change a culture if the leaders are still… I will let you fill in that blank.
Does your company have a culture committee? Is it working? How can you change it?
