Workplace Culture Change Starts with You<\/h1>\n

There\u2019s often pushback from employees who don\u2019t understand why they have to focus so much on themselves; they say, \u201cIsn\u2019t this about the company?\u201d When that happens, it gives me the incredible opportunity to educate and empower them in understanding that workplace culture is created by the behaviors of every single one of us. Our behaviors are a reflection of our values. When we take the time to honor our core values and understand where they were born and enhanced, we start the process of not only knowing but also owning our values. Values are far from a matter of superficial box-checking, but again, they often are presented that way.<\/p>\n

We could just jump straight into the values of the company, and that would likely be more comfortable for most organizations. However, comfort is not what makes us grow and gain greater, more profound wisdom about ourselves and our community. When we skip the personal knowing, we pass over the opportunity to understand how unique yet similar we all are on a human level. We skip the realization that by knowing ourselves better, we understand our organizational culture better and can be better advocates for the values that motivate us individually and collectively.<\/p>\n

Values work is deep work. If we were doing surface-level work, we wouldn\u2019t be doing the work that was required to make meaningful shifts within the culture. Although workplace culture consultants can illuminate, measure, guide, advise, coach, and support the change, you and your people must take responsibility and ownership of the culture\u2014and the only way that workplace culture can change is when people have self-awareness and accountability.<\/p>\n

When you understand what your personal values are and where they came from, you can better understand how you are showing up in or out of alignment with the company\u2019s core values. From that place, you can then empower yourself and ask others to hold you accountable to these core values, knowing what kind of environment you want to create with others.<\/p>\n

Culture work is some of the hardest work because it\u2019s the people work. It\u2019s the emotion work. It\u2019s the self-awareness work. Each one of us is such a complicated and unique human being. When we take the time to know who we ourselves are, it gives us the opportunity to know other people.<\/p>\n

Often we look to others to do the work; we think workplace culture is someone else\u2019s responsibility. It\u2019s the CEO\u2019s job, it\u2019s HR\u2019s job, it\u2019s the leadership\u2019s job. Even if you have a chief culture officer, I\u2019m here to tell you that it\u2019s still the job of each and every person within that company to intentionally gain self-awareness and feedback to see what work exists for them in terms of how they\u2019re creating the organizational culture every day. The leadership can surely set the tone, provide the coaching, and ensure that guidance is available, but an aligned workplace culture exists only when everyone understands and owns their role in crafting it each day.<\/p>\n

Whether you feel like you\u2019re in complete alignment with your core values or you have no idea what they are, this work will serve you in knowing how you\u2014and therefore your organization\u2014can step up in more authentically living your core values. Self-awareness of our intrinsic motivators, sparked by activation of our core values, enables us to name and get curious about the experiences, behaviors, and conditions that are required for a sense of personal alignment, purpose, and productivity each day.<\/p>\n

Although this work might be uncomfortable at first, remember that you are a conscious leader who\u2019s choosing to dig in and gain wisdom from the discomfort.<\/p>\n

When you take responsibility for your values being activated, you can teach others how to do the same.<\/p>\n

And if you want support, we have a lot to offer you. This was an excerpt from MaryBeth\u2019s company culture book Permission to Be Human: The Conscious Leaders Guide to Creating a Values-Driven Culture.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
