How to Build a Company Culture at Any Stage

Does your company culture support or detract from your strategic objectives as an organization?

Many perceive company culture as ephemeral, but culture is the sum expectations, behaviors, and results.

* What do you expect of your employees (at all levels)?
* How do you want them to behave (towards each other, vendors and customers) as they work to deliver against those expectations?
* What results do you expect?
* Critically, do you prioritize results over behaviors? Doing so can lead to unintended consequences (e.g., the recent banking debacle or Enron).

How do you create a company culture designed to reinforce the behaviors you want to achieve the results you need?
