Interview Summary
· Enhancing workplace culture with Guiding Principles
· Doing the right thing number, doing it the right way number, and doing it right now. If it's worth doing, let's go ahead and get it done.
· The treatment of ideas - allowing the best idea to stand the test of time
· Creating a culture that lets new people know what is expected
· Identifying behaviours that represent the ideal culture - cultural statements and value statements can sound a little nebulous at times unless they are brought to life.
· Fostering attitudes that support the attributes and that mean cultural excellence is not reliant on any one leader - we are all the custodians of them.
· Enhancing culture and building leadership with coaching
· Keeping everyone on board in fast paced, ever-changing climates
· The (surf) board meeting
· A final piece of advice for leaders in fast paced environments - be OK being uncomfortable.
The debrief – what we learned from Nathan
The combination of an Authentic Leader (Nathan) and a clear framework (the Dimensional Guiding Principles, Attributes and Attitudes) is the ideal platform for enhancing workplace culture.
Nathan is ‘real’ – what you see is what you get, and he isn’t frightened about being authentic and vulnerable. He is also a humble leader, striving to be his best self while accepting that he is imperfect.
