David Speicher, President Speaks at National Conference in Las Vegas on Culture

“5 Ways to Get in the Game"

May 01, 2006 - Tampa Bay Florida, David Speicher, President of CORE speaks at a national conference on the importance to have a vision that is clearly communicated to the team. David spoke on the most important challenge you may face is sustaining a healthy culture at your organization.

"For some of you leading people are a new venture because the more responsibilities you have the more important the 'people' skills become. A key ingredient is to build trust amongst the team members, to motivate them and get them to believe in the team's potential. That's a healthy culture."

It's about - feelings of trust, confidence, belonging, achievement, loyalty, respect, appreciation, and more. For you, it's also about handling your team's anger, disappointment, frustration and insecurities - and your own.

Here a are 5 ways you can begin to build a healthy culture that can create some great results. But with those steps are
some mindsets that may prevent you from implementing the 5 Steps Today…

1. Understand that healthy culture is people centered, not profit driven.
…you might believe that healthy culture is proven by financial success. “It doesn’t matter how you get there, JUST GET
THERE!”

2. Promote Your Vision!
…some of you believe that you do not need to promote vision, it is obvious, and people should just get it! “It is what it is
everyday, why don’t you understand that!”

3. Understand that to care means looking and listening!
…care to some people is giving employees a paycheck. “Hey, I provide a job for you, nothing more and nothing less!”

4. Never let your emotions rule over you!
…do you use emotions such as anger, intimidation and volatility to motivate people? “They make me angry with their
stupid decisions; I deserve the opportunity to give some back!”

5. Both character and competence must continue to grow in you!
…many people do not understand the difference between character and competence. “I’m not here to help people,
which are not my job! I’m here to take care of me!”
