Creating a Culture People Want to Work In

Creating a positive and effective culture is crucial for leaders as it impacts how much people want to work and use their gifts in an organization. This can be achieved by encouraging and recognizing each other's contributions. At Watermark, they use creative ways like giving out special socks to show appreciation and holding a staff retreat focused on rest and worship. They also create opportunities for fun and levity, such as organizing a staff play day and conducting a Wiffleball home run derby. The goal is to create healthy rhythms and sustainable practices to prevent burnout and exhaustion.
