Definition of organizational culture
Maya states that organizational culture refers to the personality of an organization and relates to the day-to-day beliefs and behaviors of the employees and the entire work environment. It has to do with the energy that everyone in the workplace environment is emitting. She explained that it is also how the employees and leaders act and engage with the organization; Maya finished her definition by saying organizational culture is really about looking at the company’s purpose and ensuring everyone is very clear on the vision.
Four key things that define culture
Maya mentions that in her opinion, four key things define culture, and they are purpose, mission, vision, and values. She states that if you don’t have a mission, you don’t have values, you don’t have a purpose, and you don’t have the overall vision of where you are going. Not knowing these things is going to make your team convoluted and not understand.
The importance of being clear on your purpose as a leader
In Maya’s opinion, you need to be clear about your purpose; as a leader, you have to share your vision and then the values; it is not just about writing it out or posting it everywhere; you have to live and breathe it every day, so your employees will see it and follow-through
Why a leader needs to embody and identify their values
As a leader, your employees look up to you; it’s just like you are the value book they are reading and whatever you act is what they will follow, so it is crucial that you keep steering and showing that vision while still living breathing your values.
Steps to building organizational culture
Maya states that to build a healthy organizational culture, you need to identify your mission, purpose, vision, and value and then figure out what makes sense for you, how you can embody that and give it to your team. Then you can dive into more steps and start implementing them in your organization.
