What This Episode Is About
In the last episode, we explored how communication is the color of your confidence — the outward expression of your identity.
Today, we go deeper into the third pillar of the C3 model: #Culture.
Culture is not a slogan, a mission statement, or something written on a wall.
Culture is created.
Culture is repeated.
Culture is lived.
It is the accumulation of behaviors and beliefs — often passed down without question — that determine how people feel, work, think, and perform.
Ernest unpacks how your:
combine to shape the culture around you, whether thriving… or toxic.
🔹
Why Culture Matters (And Why Most Leaders Ignore It)
Through powerful analogies — including lessons from a doctor who worked with space agencies and insights into cellular biology — Ernest explains:
-
Why every personality type requires a specific environment to perform at their best
-
Why misplaced people underperform (just like cells in the wrong biological environment)
-
How Connectors, Organizers, Detail-Oriented individuals, and Effervescent personalities each thrive… or suffer
-
Why one misaligned personality can weaken the entire team
-
Why most workplace toxicity begins with leadership blind spots, not lack of skill
If you don’t understand your team’s wiring…
If you don’t understand your own wiring…
You cannot create a culture where performance grows naturally.
🔹
Key Culture Insights You’ll Learn
-
Culture is not built in meetings — it is built through small, meaningful, repeated behaviours
-
Your #Mindset shapes the culture you allow, reward, tolerate, or correct
-
People carry the same personality to work and home — you are leading whole human beings
-
Reducing stress in the environment increases performance, clarity, and productivity
-
A team in the wrong environment becomes frustrated, ignored, drained, or disengaged
-
A team in the right environment becomes aligned, energised, and high-performing
Ernest shares real examples of burnt-out Connectors, frustrated Organizers, overlooked Detail-Oriented individuals, and uninspired Effervescent personalities — and how aligning them with their CODE instantly transformed the culture.
🔹
Why This Matters for Leaders
A negative environment cannot produce positive results — something even Albert Einstein agreed with.
Your job as a leader, parent, teacher, manager, or coach is to:
-
Understand your own CODE
-
Understand the CODE of those you lead
-
Shape an environment where every personality can thrive
-
Model emotional intelligence, consistency, and clarity
-
Reduce unnecessary conflict
-
Build trust, alignment, and culture through daily actions
Culture is not magic.
Culture is not accidental.
Culture is built.
And it starts with you.
