Just like every single company is different, so is every single company’s culture. What is a company culture, anyway? Well, it’s something that we know quite a bit about here at Culture-Strategy Fit – after all, it’s what we do. A company’s culture is the dynamic ethos that can either drive workers together or drive them apart. As Medium notes, a company’s culture, “is inclusive of the things that make an organization great, but also the things that serve as a drawback.”
So, how does a “champions network” fit into company culture? Put simply, champions are those individuals who not only set the example of excellence for other employees but also generate the enthusiasm and buzz which inspires them. In the book, “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference,” author Malcolm Gladwell states, “If you want to bring fundamental change in people’s beliefs and behavior, you need to create a community around them, where those new beliefs can be practiced and expressed and nurtured.”
What does this mean? It means change can’t happen as the result of just one person – you need a team to grow momentum.
