In today’s business landscape, “culture” has become a buzzword, often used to describe the essence of a company’s identity. On an episode of The Exploring Potential Podcast, Rich Daughtridge, the CEO of Warehouse Cinemas, sat down with Exploring Potential founder and CEO Brett King to share valuable insights into creating and maintaining a positive workplace culture.
Creating a Culture of Hard Work
Culture is inevitable; it will form whether or not you actively shape it. At Warehouse Cinemas, the culture revolves around core values, one of which is encapsulated in the phrase “climb the wall together.” This reflects a commitment to hard work and a solid effort day in and day out. Rich emphasizes that a positive culture, rooted in hard work, is essential for achieving work-life integration.
Fragility of Culture and the Importance of Authenticity
Rich acknowledges that organizational culture is fragile and can quickly turn negative. Warehouse Cinemas utilizes surveys to gauge employee experiences and perceptions to maintain a healthy culture. These surveys, founded on authenticity, help identify areas for improvement and ensure that the company stays true to its core values. According to Rich, authenticity is the key to creating a positive and inviting consumer experience.
Advice for Business Leaders
When asked about advice for business leaders looking to repair or improve their company culture, Rich emphasizes the importance of facing the brutal facts. Conducting honest and statistically valid surveys – based on core values – is the first step. Professional companies like Exploring Potential can assist in this process, providing valuable insights that may lead to in-person meetings with top management. Addressing issues authentically and transparently is crucial for the long-term success of any cultural transformation.
