      Create Magic At Work - Amy Lynn Durham

      PREFACE

      What’s your company’s culture like?

      HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN ASKED that question? What is your answer? Do you even know? There are hundreds of books on the topic, and yet many companies fail to truly distinguish themselves with an extraordinary company culture.

      Your culture could be hard to define if you don’t know where to start. I’ve seen executive after executive gather in meeting rooms and spend hours discussing what culture means to them, debating their vision or mission, etc. Unfortunately, oftentimes none of the high-level consideration that goes into defining the culture ends up trickling down in any material way to the frontline employees who are literally the face and real culture of your company.

      Creating true company culture comes from bringing different people together, pinpointing their unique skills and celebrating those skills in a way that contributes to the whole of the team. As Oprah Winfrey has said, People want to be seen, heard, and feel like they matter. Unfortunately, ego gets involved in corporate culture time and again, especially at upper-management and executive levels, where some leaders feel they have to be in control or somehow demonstrate that they know more than everyone else. Letting go of that control and admitting you do not know everything can be a scary prospect for some. Deep down as a leader, you may feel as though if you do let go, or show that you actually don’t know everything, your employees will think you’re not worthy of the title or place that you hold within the organization. However, I’ve discovered that the exact opposite happens when a leader lets go of that control. For example, some of the most powerful statements I’ve made as a leader have been:

      I MADE A MISTAKE.

      WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS?

      I’M NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS TOPIC.
