Your Chief Culture Officer
Every organization has a culture. Members’ rituals, values, beliefs, achievements, attitudes and behaviors express an organization’s culture. Some company cultures are better defined than others.
Does your business have a Chief Culture Officer, someone responsible for managing, maintaining and uplifting the company’s culture?
If you’re a leader in a big business, you may not think it’s practical to have a CCO. Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin disagree. They bestowed the CCO title on Stacy Savides Sullivan in 2006. Her job is to find ways to enhance and develop Google’s culture as it continues to grow. Not an easy task. Google has over 20,000 full-time employees.
If you’re a small business owner, you may think you can’t afford a CCO. That’s probably true. But as Michael Gruber points out in The E-Myth Revisited, the entrepreneur wears multiple hats and must manage all the necessary organizational roles that aren’t covered by others. Managing the culture of your organization is your responsibility.
If you’re committed to growing a sustainable business, the organization’s culture is vitally important to the health of your business.
