Your company’s culture is dwindling, or maybe you don't have much of one. Maybe you've never thought about 'Culture" in your work-place. What can be done; how
did it get this way? Maybe it was never really there to begin with. Or just lost in the shuffle of everyday life. Whatever the case...

When a company has
no set values, motives, mission, and goal you’re looking to produce failure not
production in the long run. Without these you’ll have radicals in the
organization tearing out the fiber of your very existence.
What is company
culture anyway? Culture:
Webster’s dictionary says it this way:
(The shared set of attitudes, values, goals,
and practices that characterizes an institution or organization;
The set of values, conventions, or social
practices associated with a particular field, activity, or societal
characteristic.)
Is everyone in the
company on the same team oriented mind –set? Are you all reaching for the same
goals with the same attitude? Not many companies are. Granted some are
more-well to do than others, at least they have the appearance they do. A few
that do have it together are Southwest, Virgin, and Apple. They have built
their organizations on culture first, production second.
One may feel it’s too late to change now;
we’ve been on this road too long to turn back now. It’s never too late! If your
doors are open today you still have the chance to change. You need to take the
first step. That would be linear adjustment in attitude, character, values,
company motive and goals. Without these key ingredients you are destined to
fail.
* Everyone knows his
skilled primary function, cross-training applies.
*All employees need
to have a positive attitude about their job/career. You don’t need negativity
in the work place; and don’t make room for it.
*Character is built
on non-compromise. If you compromise even the little things, the character of
the organization is flawed.
*Don’t waiver on
true values. Your production level of quality should be at its very best.
*Everyone should be
on the same page with a common goal.
We want to strive
for a common goal and the betterment of the company; not just customer
satisfaction but also employee satisfaction, from the CEO on down the line to
the very last person. The up-side to all of this is:
Vender satisfaction- they know exactly what and when you
have a need,
Customer satisfaction- they know they’ll have quality parts
in a quantifiable time,
Self (company) satisfaction- the ROI in progress is
monumental.
