How Do I Build A Great Culture On My Team?

You start with Google to see what the experts have to say.

You are rolling your eyes and laughing at this stuff.  It feels ridiculous.  Everyone, including Google couldn’t be wrong on something this big… or could they?

Google is serving up the “experts” offering you a bullshit, big business, Silicon Valley version of company culture as something you can buy.  That is the lie.  You see, culture can never be bought. 

I’m offering you an alternative - Threads Culture, a method of leadership driven by core values.

Threads will require hard work, getting your hands dirty and being involved with people as human beings.  It will make you uncomfortable and even afraid at times, but it will feel right every step of the way.  Once you understand it, you won’t in good conscience be able to go back to the way you used to lead.

Threads will help produce the best products, services and financial results you have ever seen from your organization.  Yet, at the end of your career, all those worldly things will be secondary to the truly meaningful things you have accomplished with people.

How can I learn to be a core values driven leader?

The best way to learn culture is through stories.

Every chapter on this site is built around a real story that happened in an organization that I led, owned or helped with their culture. 

After the story has taught you a specific aspect of Threads, many of the chapters will have financial models, exercises and principles to help you implement the concept inside your organization.

All of our models, exercises, etc. are free to download without giving up your contact info.

No calls to action, no landing pages, no pay wall, no hourly fees. 

Those things are about money… lead sources, sales pipelines and eventually selling you something.  For our purposes here, that would cheapen what this is actually about.  

So why did we create this site?  We know what it feels like as a leader to have people on your team genuinely smile, thank you and tell you that they can’t imagine having to go work anywhere else.  We want you to feel this as a leader.  We want the people on your teams to experience what it is like to work in this kind of environment.  

If you are here now reading this, we know you have what it takes to create a Threads Culture in your team.  Do you have the courage and will you put in the work?  I hope so.  Your team does too.
