A HBR Ideadcast podcast got me thinking: If you were to create a company from scratch what kind of culture would you focus on? How would you create it? What does it mean to be deliberate about culture? One I would focus on is execution:
- Every meeting should create a decision, the very best given the information known.
- People have to unite behind decisions and there has to be a high (and well reasoned) bar to changing big decisions
- Information needed for a meeting should be circulated before the meeting
- Information can be gathered during a meeting if it will help make a better decision.
Anyway I guess you have to think clearly about different aspects of a company culture. What are the broad buckets to look at?
