Creating a safe culture
KEY POINT:
Companies only improve or remain creative when leaders actively seek advice from people who challenge them, disagree with them, and motivate them to fix mistakes, and pursue innovation.
Creative Culture
Commitment to core values must be emphasized, and at the core of the core values must be
diversity.
Promote
dissention or forever swim in an ocean of mediocrity.
Hire people based on their ability to contribute to culture and to
think independently for the good of the organization.Do not defer to seniority or title when making decisions, but to the best (quality) decision.
Support transparency, in action and communication, or you will fail to receive “best ideas”. Slide6
