Everyone talks about the personality of a person, the individual.
But almost everything in an organization has a personality.
Teams have personalities. They shape how work gets done, what gets done well, and what gets missed.
Meetings have personalities. They reflect what the meeting is designed to do. Many companies have too many of one kind of meeting, and they structure them in ways that limit their value.
Organizations have personalities. That is culture. It is what gets valued, recognized, and rewarded, and what gets overlooked that may be costing more than anyone realizes.
When your organization is not playing with a full deck, in its teams, meetings, and culture, long-term success suffers.
Get it right, and you have a winning hand.
