Ducks in a Row: Culture Then and Now

by Miki Saxon

http://www.flickr.com/photos/22404598@N05/461027693/Three years ago, in Leadership Turn, I talked about the dangers of allowing your culture to become a cult, but it seems that’s happening more and more.

The same day I explained here the benefits of what I called an ALUC culture.

ALUC is composed of four actions:

  • Ask everyone for input, ideas, suggestions and opinions—not just your so-called stars.
  • Listen and really hear what is said, discuss it, think about it.
  • Use what you get as often as possible, whether in whole or in part, or as the springboard that leads to something totally different.
  • Credit the source(s), both up and down, publicly and privately, thank them, compliment them, congratulate them.

The following day I offered some simple advice on implementing ALUC.

All three were worth reading then.

All three are worth reading now.

You want/need a culture, not a cult.
