I like to think that I know a thing or two about vocabulary and its application to everyday life. However, I will admit, there have been times where I\u2019ve thrown around a word or a phrase without being 100% sure of its meaning. This typically happens with broad phrases, and we\u2019re all guilty of it. But, what\u2019s cool about language(s) is that it\u2019s virtually limitless, so there\u2019s always room to learn something new<\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure you\u2019re thinking, \u201cokay, Taylor, that\u2019s great and probably not as profound as you think it is. What does this have to do with business?\u201d Well, one of the phrases I\u2019ve heard people throw around and not actually have it stick is \u201cbusiness culture.\u201d It’s used broadly as a cliche with little meaning behind it, often used incorrectly.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s easy to correctly define such a phrase, it is so general that it is difficult for some to have a true grasp of its meaning. Whenever I\u2019m unclear on something, I go to the smartest person I know for clarity \u2013 my father. My dad, Mike Leddin, is the executive director of a law firm in Chicago. Throughout my life, he\u2019s been my go-to person for advice and explanation, and this was no different when I was seeking the root meaning of business culture. Since he has a tendency to be more eloquent than I, let\u2019s have him weigh in…<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business culture within a company is as critically important as the products\/services that are produced,” said Mike Leddin. “Creating the right culture, one that fosters teamwork and encourages contributions, thoughts, and ideas at all levels, will be ultimately reflected in the end product\/service.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added, \u201cThe business culture should clearly reflect the social and ethical responsibility of the company, including management\u2019s commitment to act responsibly in all ways. Properly communicated Mission and Values Statements both internally and externally, will not only define the goal and objections of the organization, but also the manner in which these be will be sought and achieved.”<\/p>\n

What stuck with me most was his conclusion:<\/p>\n

“Business culture is not simply a statement or goal, it is the result of the manner in which we act each day.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This idea of business culture is important for every team member to keep in mind as we walk into work each day. Questions such as: “What am I providing people?” and “Why should they trust me?” should factor into your definition of business culture.<\/p>\n

A company is only as strong as its morals and values. Make sure yours has one that you believe in, lest you be just another brokerage in a sea of competitors that don’t<\/em> lack clarity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
