Remarkable Cultures of Hope and Purpose with Dr. Randy Ross (Episode # 532U)

Let me give you a definition of what we consider to be a remarkable culture.

And then we can talk about culture for a little while, if you like.

But culture happens wherever people get together.

So it doesn't matter whether it's in your business or whether it's in the church or synagogue or mosque where you attend worship.

It doesn't matter if it's in the philanthropic organization where you volunteer your time.

or the gym where you go work out.

Everywhere people get together, there's a culture.

And we define a remarkable culture as a place where people believe the best in each other, they want the best for each other, and so therefore they expect the best from each other.

I like that three-part trilogy because the first talks to trust, The second talks about connection and compassion.

And the third talks about accountability.

So you're talking about barriers to creating that kind of organizational culture.

Or think about it this way, that you have a culture in your home.

So when there's not trust, what happens to relationships? They fall apart because where trust is low, resistance is high.

And it's very difficult to make forward progress or bring about change.

The second thing is compassion and connection, which is absolutely essential for team dynamics, for collaboration, wanting the best for each other.

And the third one is accountability.

So we have to call the best out of each other, which is about healthy coaching within organizations, mentorship, if you will.

So the things that are barriers are lack of mentorship, lack of accountability, no connection and compassion, and low levels of trust.

Those are all barriers that impede being able to create this remarkable culture where people thrive in a relationally rich environment.

I love those three items.

Would you state those one more time?

Absolutely.

It's what we call the remarkable cultural trilogy.

where people believe the best in one another, they want the best for one another.

And so therefore they expect the best from one another.
