Over the next several days I further unpack some of my favorite words. Today's focus is on #resiliency inside of yourself, your team, and your workplace culture. Resilience is the capacity to survive, adapt, and flourish in the face of turbulent change - how resilient are you and your team? Are you bouncing back, remain still or BOUNCING FORWARD? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yourmorningcommute/message

I must be honest. I hear more people complaining about their crappy culture than people bragging about their awesome culture. Why is that? We all agree culture is created by the team. If the team says the culture sucks, then change it. Are you a part of the solution or the problem? Do you really know the problem? The root causes? Have you offered solutions? Viable solutions? Have you stated facts or feelings? Have you created the business case and shown what happens if you do nothing? Have you shown your boss that the risk is greater to do nothing versus trying something? If not, why not? Have you dug deep enough into yourself, the team and the organization? Have you asked for outside unbiased opinions, options, solutions? If these questions make you feel uncomfortable, good. That means you are taking your culture seriously. Culture matters. Culture is your people, and people build the success of your organization if you allow them, embrace them, expect them and support them daily. Workplace culture isn’t built in a day; it’s built every day. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yourmorningcommute/message

Open positions on any team causes stress & anxiety...period...for everyone. To better manage that - how do you inform and involve your immediate team members on that now open position? First keeping them in the loop shows you care, trust and respect them enough to let them know immediately. Second, you may be surprised on the great ideas they come up with to shift temporarily or permanently duties to stay effective or become even more effective, instead of them immediately feeling like their work load is about to increase - yet again without any say in the matter.

We expect confidence in our leaders. Agree or disagree? How well leaders move through the decision making process itself expresses their confidence to others and further manifests into deeper internal confidence too AND absolutely influences the workplace culture. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/yourmorningcommute/message
