IAM2337 - Building a Strong Company Culture for Organizational Success

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless emphasizes that creating a strong organizational culture doesn’t just happen by chance; it requires intentional effort from leaders.

 

He points out that many leaders become overly focused on the buzzword of "culture," but they may struggle to understand how to shape it effectively. 

 

Gresham shares his experience of being an ideas-driven leader, which sometimes led to confusion within his team.

 

He encourages leaders to define their desired culture and work backward from that vision, refining it over time.

 

In addition, Gresham highlights that culture-building takes active, continuous effort and that simplicity—despite being challenging—is often more effective than complexity in ensuring organizational success.
