Do This, Not That — Company Culture Edition

Remember those “Eat This, Not That” books? These were my inspiration for this post, but instead it’s the Company Culture Edition.

• Give employees attention, not feedback.

• Appreciate the value someone brings, not the hours he spends at work.

• Focus on strengths, not weaknesses.

• Prevent personnel fires, not fight them.

• Spend your energy on high-level work, not on individual contributions.

This probably sounds like simple, quippy advice. And, it sort of is.

But if you’re interested or confused by any of these, I’d be happy to provide more detail and research to back them up. Let me know!
