Changing the culture

Each group, be it your company, your social football team or your family, will have a culture. A certain set of social norms and dynamics that influences what happens on a daily basis.

But what if you wanted to change the culture? How would you do it?

I think you change a culture drip by drip, day by day, leading by example.

I think if you want to turn a toxic environment into a safe space to ask questions then start asking questions.

I think if you want different voices on the team call, start asking for opinions and encourage input.

I think most people will only follow suit if they see the path ahead is clear and safe. So if you want to show that vulnerability in this group isn’t fatal then open up.

Now you may get kicked in the teeth at the start and it will most likely take a lot of consistent effort, so settle in for the long haul, but you could create something amazing.
