Discover how to build the ideal workplace with the Three Cores of Culture:

Trust
Accountability
Freedom

These three cores build upon the other and it all starts with trust. Stephen Covey in the book Speed of Trust says,

Trust is the confidence born of the character and the competence of a person or organization.

Trust must be developed before effectively moving to the next.

.

The second is accountability. In the book the Oz Principles, the authors state it as:

A personal choice to rise above one’s circumstances and demonstrate the ownership necessary for achieving desired results…

This book, better than others, helped me shift my perspective of accountability from something we use against another person to a shift in our own attitude and actions.

.

The third is freedom and the thought is represented by the Cuban poet José Martí’s quote:

Man loves liberty [freedom], even if he does not know that he loves it. He is driven by it and flees from where it does not exist.

This drive for freedom is a universal drive within us and is beautiful when it is build upon a foundation of trust and accountability. It allows Best Bosses to empower their team to do truly amazing things.

Where are you in the process of developing these three cores within your team?
