In this episode, which is part 13 of David´s CALM leadership series, he looks at commitment culture and how it relates to accountability. David explains what it is, why it is so important and how you can create and nurture this type of working environment within your own organization or company.

He goes through five different work/team culture approaches, considering the pros and cons of each one. Next week, David will dive a little deeper into the subject and provide more tips and some real-life examples.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Research proves that commitment culture is a great way to make your business and team more successful. 
• Winning sports teams focus on culture.
• If your team does not have a framework each individual will act in the way that benefits them most. It is human nature.
• A commitment culture encourages people to express themselves. To take on tasks and projects without prompting.
• If you have an autocratic culture, because your business cannot run without you, it will be difficult to sell.
• When people believe in what the company is trying to achieve, they are committed and therefore naturally motivated to succeed.

BEST MOMENTS
‘It (commitment culture) increases your probability of success by more than 20%,’

ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
