Bonus Episode 20: Introduction to Team Culture

Send us a text

What do I mean when I say team culture? It’s the values, beliefs, and attitudes that are present on your team. Who controls this culture? Well, many factors control this. 

As a leader, you set the tone, expectations, and overall accountability of the team. If you are not paying attention closely, the team culture can shift to something not desirable. This is why this topic is so important. You have to be on top of team culture. Pay attention to words and how people are interacting. How are people respecting others? How is the team’s work ethic? Are we still in line with the company’s overall culture?

Hi, this is Stephen McLain of the finance leader podcast. This is bonus episode number 20. How is everyone doing this week? How is your team? I want to talk about two things this week. First is to give an introduction to Team culture. I will be doing a full episode on this topic in a few weeks. And second, I will talk briefly about season six, which is coming up next week. And I can't wait. What do I mean when I say team culture? It's the values, beliefs and attitudes that are present on your team. Who controls this culture? Well, many factors control this. As a leader you set the tone expectations, and overall accountability of the team. If you're not paying attention closely, the team culture can shift to something not desirable. This is why this topic is so important. You have to be on top of team culture, pay attention to words and how people are interacting. How are people respecting others? How is the team's work ethic? Are we still in line with the company's overall culture. As leaders, we desire for our people to do the right thing always to respect others and to perform at a high level. But if we start to let standards of behavior to slip a little at a time, the culture will shift. And it's difficult to get it back on track. So that is why we have to be on top of it. We will talk more about this in a few weeks. It's a great topic. Team culture is critical and important to the team's success. Next week is the debut of season six topics for this season will be recruitment and hiring new team members, team culture, setting expectations, coaching, performance reviews, and many others for developing our teams. It's going to be a great season for leadership growth. Now have a great week.
