It’s funny when people ask me about company culture.
I often respond, “you’re looking at it.”
It’s easy to forget that people make up the company culture. That it’s more than just words on a wall or in a handbook.
It’s more than design and parties and pets being welcomed on the premises.
It’s more than bonuses, BBQs and being one another’s bartender.
Culture is merely the outcome of practicing what you preach.
When you are all of a similar mind, when you share the same world views, when you all set the bar to the same level and proceed to surpass it, to act on it – that’s culture.
Honesty, integrity, passion, and curiosity isn’t a culture.
The people who put those items into action is the culture.
Next time you’re wondering about the culture of an organization. Talk to a few people. Spend some time with them. That’s all it takes to know what they’re culture is and if you’ll make it stronger.
