The Culture Engine: A Framework for Driving Results, Inspiring Your Employees, and Transforming Your

Most senior leaders put greater thought into their organizations products than they do its culture. Yet culture drives everything that happens in an organization day-to-day, including what the organization focuses on, whether problems are ignored or resolved, and how employees and customers are treated. How does one go about creating a culture, something that, on one hand, is so important, but, on the other hand, seems so amorphous? Through the creation of an organizational constitution. An organizational constitution is a formal document that states the companys guiding principles and behaviors. These liberating rules present the best thinking on how the organization wants to operate. Its a North Star that outlines the companys or teams clear playing field for performance and values. Purposeful Culture is the first book to show how to create a high performing culture through the creation of an organizational constitution. The book outlines who should be involved, provides samples of effective constitutions and valued behaviors, how to socialize the draft statement, and how to engage employees in the process from start to finish.

Good Comes First: How Today's Leaders Create an Uncompromising Company Culture That Doesn't Suck

For decades, talented people have tolerated old-school leaders who put results before respect, toxic company cultures, and workplaces that suck. But those days are over, and if leaders want to attract and retain the best employees, it's time for them to create work cultures where good comes first. The problem is that because the corporate world has too often been driven primarily by results, we seldom ask leaders to change their work cultures. Even if we did, most leaders don't know how. This book provides the actionable inspiration and practical direction needed to make that change happen. In Good Comes First, S. Chris Edmonds and Mark S. Babbitt go beyond theoretical advice, using their combined fifty years of experience to present proven strategies for creating purposeful, positive, and productive work cultures. Cultures where good comes first for employees, customers, leaders, and stakeholders-and where improved business outcomes quickly follow. After listening to this book, you will see that when done right, change is not only possible-it's practical, powerful, and profitable. And you will realize that you are the right person, at the right time, to make that change happen.
