Values, more than
vision shape a culture.
Having a lack of vision is bad,
really bad. Without vision people are
stuck, literally immobilized and eventually perish.
Having skill and competency is so
important. Without a skillset matching
your role you and those around you will be frustrated and ineffective.
Having the wrong values is deadly to a culture.
Every leader is a “cultural
architect”, one who actually shapes external
environments by their internal reality.
Cultural architects without vision
are stuck. Cultural architects without
the right skill set are ineffective. Cultural architects without an aligned value system are destructive.
It is one thing to be ineffective
and a totally another thing to be destructive to the environment that is being
built. Misaligned values bring toxic emotions and cancerous growth to a
culture.
Values, more than vision or skills is what shapes a culture.
