Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
— Peter Drucker
Reflection
You can have the best business plan and the smartest people in the room, but if the culture is broken, none of that will matter. Culture is not just what a company does, but how and why it does it. It is not built on kegs or foosball tables. Great culture is built on a compelling mission and a clear set of core values that shape hiring and firing, define how a team operates, set the energy in the room, and determine how people show up and treat each other when no one is watching. Are your values just words on a wall, or do they shape everyday decisions? Strategy can be adjusted overnight, but culture takes time to build. What would it look like to overinvest in building a great culture at this stage of your business?
Looking forward,
