Ep. 54 How Culture, Productivity, and Joy Go Hand In Hand With Moe Carrick

“That’s how we do things here.” Sometimes that’s used as an excuse…at least in my experience! But at it’s best, it’s a wonderful definition of culture. Moe Carrick, workplace culture expert, defines the sometimes squishy term “culture” with “that’s how we do things here.” I love that definition for a few reasons. 1 - It implies that if ignored culture will still be there 2- It means you have to live out your values in order to influence the culture.

In this conversation we dove deep into the power of being seen by a strong leader, the reward an organization will have when intentionally building a culture and the way joy can show up in the workplace. (spoiler: it’s increased productivity and engagement)

Moe shared some warning signs for what will happen when culture is ignored and helped us understand that. Although we’re two Enneagram Sevens, we’re both aware that work will not always be sunshine and rainbows. If you’re a leader trying to build a postive culture, I invite you to join us to talk through what that REALLY means and how we can move the needle toward a workplace filled with Joyosity.
