Your Culture Shows in Hard Times

Culture is defined by how you behave in hard times.

You say you value transparency, then cancel the town hall when numbers drop.

You say positivity matters, then protect the top performer who poisons the team.

You say you don’t discount, then slash prices in Q4 to hit the board target.

Values don’t mean anything when it’s easy.

They mean everything when it’s not.

When your employees see you stick to your values when things get tough, that’s when they believe it.

That’s when they become it.
