Great leaders
inspire. They pull in talented and high-performing staffers.
But behind each leader you'll find something equally
powerful: a company culture that motivates people to work
hard and stay with the business. As long as you have a
business, you have a company culture. Instead of leaving it
to grow on its own, you can nurture it into something that
will breed loyalty and motivation.
When you take
action, it's important to set yourself up for success.
Rather than doing everything at once, try implementing a
selection of ideas that you know you can do and do well.
Highlight a few of the items from your brainstorming list
that you'd like to implement immediately. The rest you can
save on a prioritized wish list of things to do later.
