Two Absolute Requirements For Creating A Performance Culture
by Miki SaxonWally Bock over at Three Star Leadership tells a great story about Lufthansa Air Line’s culture, a culture that just assumes that nothing is impossible.
But how do you make that happen?
Whether it’s a team, a department or a company, there are two basics to do at the start that are absolutely necessary
- You must understand your own MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™), because there’s no way that you can implement, enable or live with a culture that your MAP doesn’t support.
- Hire people whose MAP is synergistic to the culture you envision; have the courage to walk away when the MAP is wrong no matter how right the skills are.
The first step is important, but it’s the second that leads to a true performance culture a la Lufthansa and sustains it for the long-term.
