Putting Culture First - Fractional C-Suite Retreat - Episode # 026

Will Scott is the Founder & Actuator at The Culture Fix Academy. He’s also the author of “The Culture Fix”. He’s dedicated to helping coaches accelerate their consulting practices, and is passionate about having a positive culture. Will joins host Joseph Frost to talk about the latest innovations in the c-suite and how a good culture can change a company for the better. 

 

Takeaways 

• C-suite leaders often delay investing into their culture because they have other priorities, but this leads to the issue of the culture not being maintained and falling apart. 
• If you talk with 100 employees and 90 of them give you a number value on how the culture of the company is, that can provide you with helpful information of where you might need to change.
• Turnover is a big reflection of the culture. If you are suffering from a high turnover rate, then it could be because the culture doesn’t keep people invested.
• Your company needs strong core values that are unique to your company and meaningful as well.
• Your culture can be what separates you from your competitors and other companies who are doing the same thing as you.
• A good leader exemplifies all the core values of the company and hires people based on the core values.
• If you are struggling for content, ask your employees what they think about the core values and that can be great content.
