Create a culture with competitive advantage

What's the difference that makes the biggest difference?


Creating Competitive Advantage through Culture

High-performance organizations (teams) aren’t lucky accidents. They're developed and led by competent, confident and consistent high-performance leaders. These leaders understand that a powerful strategy and structure are necessary yet insufficient without the right culture.

Leaders take people places they wouldn’t go on their own. Leaders get people to achieve and do what they wouldn’t achieve and do on their own. The keys to effective leadership are the practice of self-awareness, empathy, trust, courage, continuous learning, and impactful influence.

Leaders are positive influencers. They know trust is the primary currency for effective relationships. Trust is enhanced through connection, inspiration, personal and organizational alignment. Trust overcomes fear, defensiveness, cynicism, and apathy -- the factors that destroy hope, meaningful action, and empowered execution.

Leaders model the way, encourage the heart and inspire people to leave their comfort zones for something potentially better, bigger and bolder. Leaders create the conditions for people to find a way or make a way to deliver results that make the biggest difference.
