Rethinking culture

It's interesting to think of organization culture as the dynamic relationship between the quality of interactions and the freedom people feel to do their best.  Assessing whether a culture is thriving or struggling is possible with a handful of questions.

• Do people interact with strong levels of shared focus and alignment? 
• Do people engage each other's strenths and passions? 
• Do people feel free to do what they do best?
• Do people feel free to grow the beadth and depth of their potential? 
• Do people feel valuable and valued? 

When these are affirmative, culture is strong, leading to higher levels of performance, growth and well-being.
