“I can’t describe it, but I know it when I see it,” is pretty common when describing a company’s culture. But not so much for Bobby Mason, CEO of SPOC Automation. Bobby joins host Jim Barnish to talk about how his company has defined their “Lift Up” culture and how that culture has redefined what success means for their company. Listen in to see how lifting up in every aspect of the business - yourself, your team, your customers, your innovation - can’t help but lift up the company itself.
3 Key Takeaways
- Hiring strategy = culture strategy. The people you hire need to be hired (and fired) based on culture. Align with people that believe what you believe and you can succeed with that.
- Rate your meetings. This is a rarely used, but highly effective, tactic that forces organizations to critically think about the effectiveness and necessity of meetings they’re in.
- The top barrier to growth is people and communication.
