Andddd here’s one we have to keep relearning: your team copies what you do, NOT what you say.
You can talk about balance all you like, but if you’re firing off emails at 11pm, that becomes the standard…
You can say you want people to switch off on weekends while you’re the one messaging on a Sunday 🤔
People watch the founder for what’s actually acceptable here, and they take their cues from your behaviour, not the company values slide presented at the start of Q4 😮💨
So if there’s a culture thing you want to change, the fastest way is usually to change what you’re doing first.
Worth being honest about what you’re actually modelling…
