Focus On Culture
Today is the start of my third week on the job. After getting to know my team in the first two weeks I’m amazed about how much skill, dedication and commitment can be found in one team. It’s great to work with these kind of people, from which I already know we can do great things together.
Now I know the team and some of the biggest priorities I will focus this week on the culture of the company. Culture is that thing that is hard to describe but what makes a company tick. Culture can make or break a company, so it’s good to focus on it separately.
I don’t expect to understand it completely after 3 weeks already, but to get a general idea what drives people, how people work with each other and the atmosphere that hangs around is very important to me.
It’s clear that if you want to improve something, you have to change stuff. If you want to change stuff, you run into emotions. Emotions bring people and if you understand people you can make change a much easier action then just doing it without adapting.
