Growing Your Company Without Shrinking Its Culture

As you grow, how do you preserve what makes your organization special?

How can you maintain the unique aspects of your culture as your company grows and brings in new colleagues and customers?

In this session, Curt Steinhorst helps you identify ways to protect and sustain your company's culture during growth. He challenges you to rethink assumptions about scalability and addresses how past cohesion, efficiency, and "magic" can actually create silos and inefficiency in the future.

You will learn how to expand, adapt, and thrive through clarity, communication, and intentional attention. Curt will address common and misunderstood culture drivers directly and provide practical and sustainable solutions for avoiding them. These include:

• Culture is driven by clarity

• Communication driven by convenience creates chaos

• A leader's ability to avoid certain decisions is as important as those they make

• Meetings are more likely to drain us than connect us

• Attention is your most limited and valuable resource

By learning how to adapt your organization and its actions, you can preserve what makes your company’s culture unique while giving it room to evolve.
