A SUCCESSFUL CULTURE WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION MEANS: NOT WALKING AWAY AND LEAVING VALUABLE ASSETS ON THE TABLE, THAT WOULD HELP YOU AND YOUR TEAM ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS, INCLUDING AN ATTRACTIVE BOTTOM LINE
- Critical steps towards building a healthy culture.
- Don’t fear the word bias.
- Do not run from bias, less you allow it to take captive aspects of your team that allows them the capacity to be their best, which is personally valuable and rewarding for them, and productively beneficial for your organization.
- Come to embrace your personal and team cultural values that makes you who you are, doing this in a way that doesn’t blame or shame individuals for what makes them who they are, allowing you to grow and increase your organization’s value, providing greater satisfaction for all of your constituents, including your team, and just as important, your customers.
- Trustworthy observations to learn and grow from.
- How to look at “bias”? Bias is discriminating behavior that we are all capable of, stemming out of our own learned cultural values, including a learned fear of the unknown, and a drive toward personal, and/or group ambition, and/or competitiveness.
- How to look at “unconscious bias”? Unconscious bias is, when simply put, unintentional discriminant behaviors that are learned and exhibited over time, and will most likely continue (become systematic), if a caring accountability mirror isn’t held up to show the harm it causes. To get our attention, every person should be allowed to experience what it feels like to walk in the shoes of others around us, who are experiencing the hurt and pain that comes as a result of our biases.
- What is “disrupting” bias? We disrupt bias when we assure a safe space that is welcoming and removes the fear of sharing our cultural values and all those things that make us who we are. Disruption happens when we can celebrate, both our differences and similarities, while decisively acting and welcoming accountability, to not do harm to others. We reconcile and acknowledge those previously unshared hidden parts, and as a result can give more of who we are and as a whole, receive more of what each of us have to offer, contributing to a more prosperous organization.
- Embrace a culture that is healthier and more sustainable into the future, because accept that it takes more energy and cost more to exclude people, who are our most valuable assets, than it takes to welcome them in.
