We talk about this Culture of We a lot, and it’s because at Lighthouse, we believe it’s critical to our success as a company. But we didn’t invent it, and we’re certainly not the first to believe in it. In fact, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address from 1863 is a fantastic example of how a leader brought a torn-apart organization (aka our country) back together through the word “we”.
In the video below I share a bit more about what it means to have a Culture of We, why it’s important, and three steps you can lead to start building that culture in your organization, no matter the industry.
Keep Having Fun,
Jeff
After spending over 20 years managing, developing, and deploying complex software/hardware systems for both commercial and Department of Defense (DoD) applications, Jeff founded Lighthouse in 2000 with the aim of establishing a company whose customer service was only eclipsed by the quality of its work. Armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of motivational leadership tactics and a wealth of expertise in software quality assurance (QA) processes and technical leadership, he’s both a hands-on company leader and the primary architect of Lighthouse’s celebrated workplace culture.
Love this, Jeff! It’s a perfect approach to bringing people together and building/rebuilding a healthy culture following the long separation caused by the pandemic
