In this episode, Jordan and Shaara discuss:

• Four categories of workplace culture 

• How allowing genuineness creates growth in the organization 

• Building a community through collaborative effort 

• How to build trust within your community 

Key Takeaways

• The first category is a fear-based culture, the second is a “get on board” culture, the third is a “nice” culture, and the fourth is a culture of people genuinely striving for the goal of making sure that everybody belongs. 

• Creating an environment where people can be authentically themselves helps people contribute fully to the organization, bringing their whole life, whole experience, and all of their skills. 

• If you want to build a community, you’ve got to engage the whole audience. Collaborate with your people, make sure that all of the employees get to have a part in identifying and solving the problems within the culture. 

• Information is power, not just what you communicate but what you don’t. The more you hold back, the more people become aware that they’re not getting the full story and it’s harder for them to have trust. If you want to build a community, you’ve got to communicate. 

“There are three key areas that drive a culture of belonging. One is around creating community, the other is around nurturing talent, and the third is around fostering ownership. ” —  Shaara Roman
