Identifying and Capitalizing on Building a Culture
What it takes to identify, build, and sustain a culture people are attracted too:
+ Why is it important?• What does a losing culture look like - Implied• What does a winning culture look like - Expressed• Why should you care?
– Cost– Profit– Peace of Mind
+ Why top talent gravitate to winning cultures

Getting an Understanding of Who You Work With
Holistic approach looking at the bottom up and the top down:
+ Bottom Up:• What’s the culture?• What’s my mission?• Who is in charge?
+ Top Down:• How am I motivating my people• Do they know the mission• Do we have clear defined roles and responsibilities

Expressed Culture – What are You Looking For?
• A commitment to non-negotiables• Core values• Core operating procedures• Reasonable performance expectation• Accountability• An established vison for business development and growth• A dedication to training technology and facilities• A commitment to recruit, train and retain highly qualified support management• A commitment to mentoring replacements for every critical management
position

The Talent Void
Are you saying or asking?
+ Where’s the talent?+ Why cant I find any good people?+ Why do employees keep leaving me?+ You have a talent void and often times it is self inflicted?
• How do you get out?• Know your employees and figure out if they can answer two things?
– Who is in charge?– What is my mission?
+ And when you have a talent void, you better start recruiting employees

out+ Not posting resumes or responding to ads+ Are researching companies that may be
