The key to a healthy culture is leadership that is committed to creating and maintaining a healthy culture. That’s why this website is dedicated to the principles and practices of leadership and culture. Specifically, the goal is to be a resource for leaders to learn best practices in creating and maintaining a healthy organizational culture.

One of the critical tools for leaders in creating a healthy culture is the ability to coach team members. In contrast with many approaches to leadership that dictate which leadership style is appropriate for a given situation, coaching is the most effective leadership approach to creating and maintaining a healthy culture. Effective coaches enable a healthy culture to grow in their organization. They do this by leading their team to discover how greater engagement, connectedness, productivity, positive outcomes, and loyalty result when a coach empowers team members to shape their organization.

Most Leaders Are Ill Prepared

Not every leader is willing or capable of building or maintaining a healthy culture. For those who are, they will learn what constitutes a healthy culture and the best practices of leaders who have successfully implemented healthy cultures within their organization. This website will also explore obstacles that need to be overcome if a healthy culture is to succeed and be maintained.

Creating and maintaining a healthy culture requires intentionality. Healthy cultures don’t happen accidentally. They require a leader dedicated to shared values, mutual respect of its people, organizational purpose, and successful execution of its goals. Knowing how to build and maintain a healthy culture is not easy. One goal of this website is to share the knowledge and experience of leaders who have succeeded in creating healthy cultures. I believe these leaders have important lessons to offer, and I would like to showcase their best practices and successes here.

This website emphasizes the importance of coaching as a leadership skillset to create and support healthy cultures. Coaches are usually thought of as experts outside of the everyday leadership in a company. We view coaching as an integral part of leadership throughout the organization. Coaching is a process compatible with healthy cultures because it fully engages people in the change process.

Another goal of this website is to demonstrate the strong link between healthy culture and business success. This is not to ignore other factors that relate to business success, but healthy cultures unleash energy that fuels business growth while rewarding many stakeholders, including customers, owners, managers, and workers. This alignment of interests is a powerful force and a major attribute of a healthy culture.
