Use Core Culture and the Five Ps to build a thriving workplace

Successful leaders understand the power of culture. Above all, they unite employees around a small, compelling set of principles and core values: the Core Culture. These principles and values are the basis for the business and for its success.

With an understanding of culture, you can create a workplace where employees are doing the right work guided by shared principles. And, most importantly, employees work in an organization where they have a sense of connection and belonging.

To sum up: you will see heightened performance and have a thriving and dedicated workforce.

Culture is unique to each organization. And culture can contribute to–or distract from–achieving success. Therefore, firstly, you must define your Core Culture. In the process, you can decide if change is necessary. Next, align your Practices and Projections with this shared set of principles and core values.

Firstly, define the Core Culture.

Core Culture

So what is your organization’s Core Culture? To clarify, what is the foundation and framework for employee actions? Do you know the vital Purpose, distinctive and enduring Philosophy, and strategic and universal Priorities of your organization? Above all, do employees know and connect with these Core Culture principles and values?

The powerful pairing of Purpose and Philosophy supported by your Priorities form the Core Culture of your organization. The slideshow in the link below explains Core Culture.

Next, manage change by aligning the Five Ps.

The Five Ps are Purpose, Philosophy, Priorities, Practices and Projections.

The Five Ps  offers a unique and simple way to understand culture and manage change. To sum up, just align the Five Ps. That means, align the Practices–both Internal and External–and the Projections with the central three Ps–the Core Culture. Use the Five Ps to guide your organization in Building a Culture of Distinction.

The slideshow in the link below explains the Five Ps. That is to say, it shows how you can use the Five Ps to achieve alignment and drive change.
