Quote - Culture

"All parents aspire to raise the kind of children that they know will make the right choices - even when they themselves are not there to supervise.  One of the most effective ways to do that is to build the right family culture.  It becomes the informal but powerful set of guidelines about how your family behaves."

-Clayton M. Christensen
How Will You Measure Your Life?

This book was a wonderful read.  I've thought a lot about culture lately and just how many different levels of culture there are.  There is human culture, country culture, state culture, city culture, church culture, work culture, family culture, etc.  Each step of culture - defined - explains how we work in each environment, but not necessarily who we are.  Culture at work will have a huge impact on motivation and success.

  • What kind of culture breeds success?
  • Are you a manager?
  • What culture are you trying to implement on your team?
  • Are you on a software development team?
  • What culture persists on your team?
