Casual Articles - Creating a Culture of Success
This week I had a chance to visit the NFL Experience in Miami. It’s a weeklong festival the league puts on in the city where the Super Bowl is played. I have to tip my hat off the National Football League for putting on a fun event that could appeal to a variety of fans. Here are three customer service lessons that I picked up from the event:
• Do you delegate and what do you delegate?
• How open you are to accepting input for others (employees, clients, suppliers) and how do you act on that information?
• What types of employees do you want to hire (the best and the brightest or people who are expected to leave their heads at home?)
The title Design Risk Assessment in Six Sigma beckons to be likened with Poka Yoke or Mistake Proofing. But without going deeper into the comparison part of it, what we can say is that both of these do not have any similarities whatsoever, even though Poka Yoke appears to be the next logical step of Design risk Assessment in Six Sigma.So What Is Desig
I was reading a book call The World is Flat and the author was discussing the importance of a country’s culture in making changes in adapting to changes in the world’s economy. He was referring to a country’s culture as:
• How well the country adapted to change
• How open the country are to other nationalities
• Their willingness the country is to embracing change
• How each country valued education
• How easy each country was to do business with
• How well each country’s political systems responded to change
Being a small business coach I could not help notice how relevant creating a culture is to the success of a business.
Before we go further we must define what culture means. Culture can be defined as the way a company defines and captures what’s important to ensure a company’s success. After the culture is defined, storing that knowledge so it can be passed down to future generation (new employees) takes on a whole new meaning. We can begin to understand why defining and implementing a corporate culture is so important.
Some things to consider when defining the type of culture you want to create would include:
• How do you and how much do you empower your employees to make decisions?
• Do you delegate and what do you delegate?
• How open you are to accepting input for others (employees, clients, suppliers) and how do you act on that information?
• What types of employees do you want to hire (the best and the brightest or people who are expected to leave their heads at home?)
Relatively few companies own their offices and the reason is obvious, they do not want to invest in offices and buildings, they want to invest in their prime business. Another reason is that expanding companies will need more and more space so the office managing will take to much resources. It is simply easier to rent an office.Office rental also giv

Although sometimes it seems that projects take on a life of their own, the simple fact is that projects don’t manage themselves. It takes the energy and commitment of a number of people to take a project from the initial idea through inception. As more companies embrace the concept of self-directed work-teams that work on specific projects, project managemen

I remember the early days of my fundraising. I was an aspiring Winter Olympian and a young man inexperienced in the ways of the world - let alone the fine art of fundraising. After struggling financially in my first two years of competition, I realized I needed to devise a new plan for fundraising.Initially I began the same way as any amateur athletre generation (new employees) takes on a whole new meaning.

• What types of employees do you want to hire (the best and the brightest or people who are expected to leave their heads at home?)
• What are the values you want to embrace and promote to your customers, employees and suppliers (fairness, honesty or just meet the numbers?)
• What kinds of behaviors do you want to measure and reinforce (behaviors that create long term relationships or just make the sale and move to the next opportunity?)
Many companies do not give much attention to their corporate culture. It just evolves through the people they hire. It is usually driven by the attitude and behaviors or the company president and is passed along unconsciously.
When you take the time to define and create your corporate culture you are telling others what kinds of people will flourish in your company; it tells tell the market the companies you want to business with, it defines the behaviors that will be accepted in your organization.
Creating a specific company culture is just as important to the success of an organization as a sound business plan. In fact, the definition of how you want your corporate culture to perform should be a part of your business plan.
Of all the companies I studied, the most successful in the long term, were very clear in what their corporate culture would look like and they took action to see that is was implemented.
