Episode notes
Repeat Vision Relentlessly
- Vision naturally fades unless leaders repeat it constantly to keep people connected to the why.
- Dr. Addison Killeen says repeat mission, vision, and core values everywhere until they stick.
Culture Is What You Tolerate
- Culture is defined by behaviors you allow, not words on a wall.
- If you ignore small negative actions, you signal they are acceptable and shape the culture negatively.
Call Out Small Problems Fast
- Do call out small issues quickly with short private or one-minute meetings to stop bad habits.
- Address tardiness or small infractions immediately to prevent them becoming cultural norms.
