Are You a Boss, Or a Leader? Company Culture
We spent the last two weeks talking about a company’s mission and vision. These concepts are important because they serve as the basis for the development of your company’s culture. This culture is what drives your organization to success. It is the cultural “buy in” by your team which ensures that all company activity meets or exceeds the goals and objectives of the organization.
Some of the most successful organizations over time have an easily identifiable culture and that starts from the top. When it comes to developing a company culture, are you a boss or a leader? Bosses manage and leaders inspire. Companies with great cultures typically have the latter.
So, how do you develop yours? Below are some great articles to jumpstart your process:

I will leave you with this quote on culture from Richard Branson:
“There’s no magic formula for great company culture. The key is just to treat your staff how you would like to be treated.”
