The biggest misconception about Company Culture is that it gets organically created, it's how it works for that business or industry and that nothing can be done about it.
Effective leaders for a culture-first mindset inspire through purpose, demonstrate credibility, align culture with strategy, reward desired behaviors, promote fairness, engage compassionately, act with values, and lead sustainably.
To maintain its vision, effectively pursue its mission, and implement its strategic objectives, it is essential to attract talent that is genuinely committed to collaborating in this endeavor and create a sense of belonging and purpose.

It is important to embed culture not just as a section on a slide, but as part of the leadership brand. A leader's effectiveness is measured as much by how they foster trust and inclusion as by delivery metrics. And the key to consistency is feedback.
We should organise periodic training on Inter-personal Relations and Diversity & Inclusion for our existing people to educate them on respectful relationships that nurture constructive dialogue and manage disagreement for growth and innovation.
