No one wants to be part of a team where they don’t feel like they fit in. But hiring for ‘culture fit’ has lots of unintended consequences. So how do we hire great people who will thrive within our team or organization without relying on ‘that good feeling you got during the interview’? Today’s guest is Bretton Putter. Brett is an expert in company culture development who is consulted by companies and leaders worldwide to help design, develop and build high-performing cultures. He is the CEO of CultureGene, a culture leadership software and services platform. Prior to founding CultureGene Brett spent 16 years as the Managing Partner of a leading executive search firm based in London working with startups and high-growth companies in the UK, Europe and USA. In 2018 he published his first book, Culture Decks Decoded and his second book Own Your Culture: How to Define, Embed and Manage your Company Culture in September 2020. Brett and I talk about how to hire and onboard a new team member who will contribute to and thrive within your organizational culture. We talk about whether there is such a thing as culture fit, how to hire for values fit and what to do if your company or team doesn’t have explicit values, and what onboarding is really all about.

Hire For Values Fit.   KEEP UP WITH BRETT Website: https://www.culturegene.ai/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brettonputter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrettonPutter   Key Takeaways: Don’t hire for culture-fit, hire for values-fit.  Hiring based on culture relies on gut instinct and personal preference versus what we believe in and how we want to operate.  To figure out your team’s values, have your team create a list of what they believe is important to the team. Narrow the list down to no more than 6 core values. Be explicit about what behaviors you expect from each of those values.  When interviewing, ask the interviewee to tell a story about when they exemplified one of your team’s core behaviors. Ask follow-up questions to dig deeper to understand their story, the context and their approach to the value. The more vivid and believable the story, the more the candidate lives those values.  Use the job description, interview process, and onboarding as a way to educate the candidate on your team culture and values.  Start onboarding a new hire 30 days before their start date. Send a series of emails and videos that start to build trust and relationships with the new hire’s team mates before he begins working. We don’t need to be in person to communicate our values. Use opportunities such as team meetings to demonstrate your values in action, by showcasing stories of team members exemplifying a team value.  Additional Resources: Episode 72: Align Your Team By Creating Shared Values + Guide to Episode 72 Episode 76: Bring Team Values to Life + Guide to Episode 76 mamie@mamieks.com

We're going to have some fun.  Brett is the co-founder and CEO of CultureGene. He ran an executive search firm for 16 years, working with high-growth early-stage tech companies, helping them source senior executive leaders. He realized that culture was the missing link not just for startups, but for all companies and I decided to focus his energies on understanding company culture. He founded CultureGene based on a process he developed to help companies define, embed, and manage their process of developing their culture.

During this podcast episode, Bretton Putter smashes one of the most common myths regarding remote hiring. Usually, companies look for ‘culture fit’ when interviewing candidates. However, Bretton says that looking for such quality is impossible and that companies instead should hire for values.

Bretton Putter is the CEO of CultureGene and he helps companies build and develop strong, functional company cultures. He recently published his second book, Own Your Culture, and in this episode, we talk about what to think about and what to do (asap!) to create a thriving culture in the world of remote or hybrid work. Brett shares plenty of actionable insights and examples of practices you can implement to adapt to this new way of working. 

When you join a new company, you enter into two contracts. The obvious one is the signed employment agreement that outlines your salary, benefits, and the like. The other contract is the implicit agreement that exists between you and your employer. Few people work for what’s in the signed contract. They show up at work each day because of how it feels to be there, what they enjoy about their work, and how much opportunity they have to grow. In other words, they come because of the culture, not their paycheck. Bretton Putter has been observing implicit contracts and how they’re upheld across companies of varying sizes and industries. Unfortunately over the past year, many of these contracts have been broken. In particular, those companies building cultures based on physical offices and tangible perks, have struggled to keep their implicit contracts in one piece. In this episode of People at Work, Bretton talks about what to do if you’ve been caught swimming naked as the tide recedes (paraphrasing Warren Buffett). This is a conversation to prepare us for what lies ahead in the re-framed world of work and those implicit contracts that need repairing. Naked swimmers, now’s the time to get a wetsuit. About our guest: Bretton is an expert on company culture development. He’s the founder and CEO of CultureGene, a company culture development company helping companies build strong, functional cultures while transitioning to a remote or hybrid work model. Bretton has written two books on the subject of company culture. Culture Decks Decoded was published in 2018 and Own Your Culture: How to Define, Embed and Manage your Company Culture was published in September 2020. He writes a popular blog on culture-driven companies and is a sought-after speaker.

The wrong people in your business can cause extreme anguish and turmoil. Likewise if you foster the wrong type of environment for your employees you can cause that same anguish. The number one thing that sets apart good companies from great companies is the type of business culture we have.

Brett Putter has studied the most successful cultures in the world, and he sees a world of trouble for those who think they'll just ease into a hybrid model. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Are you able to talk about your organizational culture at a depth for hours? If not, Brett would argue that potentially your culture needs more clarity. It's time to dig deep into the onion layers of culture. Culture development has somehow become associated with a surface level checklist of vision, mission and values - but having the text does not instantaneously translate it into our culture. In this conversation, Brett and Samm explore how we should evolve our strategic planning process regarding culture considering how our fundamental workplace norms are being questioned.

On this episode of ‘Come Rain or Shine’, guest, Bretton Putter, joins the show to discuss his background and the importance of responsible recruiting. As an expert on healthy corporate culture, Bretton has consulted many organizations concerning the impact of hiring on strong company culture and subsequent growth. With experience in recruiting, Bretton has helped businesses not only make appropriate hires but also in understanding culture as a function of best practice. In his words, defining culture starts with leaders who facilitate environments of self-awareness and prioritize the virtue in team-building opportunities. As his new book, ‘The Culture Gene’, emphasizes, when company heads leverage this advantage, a team’s behaviors will align to corporate values and in turn, produce better results and cultures of safety.

If you have ambitions to scale your recruiting and staffing business, then developing your company culture needs to be one of your top priorities. On The Resilient Recruiter podcast, I've interviewed many founders of fast-growing recruitment companies and they all agree on the importance of creating the right culture.  But what does that really mean and how do we achieve it? “Nine out of ten companies do not have a strong functional culture.”  My special guest, Bretton Putter of CultureGene explains what makes a company culture strong and functional and why it should matter to you as a recruitment business owner. Brett also explains how to address a degrading company culture environment, especially in this challenging time of the pandemic where most employees are forced to work remotely. Brett is an expert on company culture development. He is the founder and CEO of CultureGene, a Culture Leadership Platform helping high-growth companies build strong, functional cultures.  Episode Outline and Highlights [1:25] What is company culture and why it is important for growth companies? [3:35] Codifying the culture development process - what it means. [8:28] Why invest time to be intentional on your culture versus just having one by default? [13:30] “There is no right or wrong culture, it is either strong and functional or weak and dysfunctional” What makes a culture functional? [21:55] Hear the initial steps you should take when starting the culture development journey. [32:55] Why it is impossible to hire based on “culture fit” and why you should hire for values instead. [35:49] How to address degrading company culture in a remote environment. [42:20] Brett talks about one of the most challenging experiences he has to overcome. [48:30] Brett tells the story of having lunch with Nelson Mandela. “The way we do things right here” Our conversation started off with how Brett would define “company culture.” He gave a straightforward response, “My definition, or the definition I like of company culture, is the way we do things around here. Which is like an all-encompassing thing, but that is deliberate. Because company culture really is the DNA of your organization and it drives everything.”  Brett also raised very two important points when talking about its importance.  Where we are and how our company is adapting around this time of the pandemic is really driven by our culture. The most important thing we have to think about is that your company culture is degrading over time in most cases. Listen to the whole conversation as Brett and I drill down further on these key points. Invest Time to Design Your Culture If you are a small startup, you might have hesitations about investing time to design and codify your culture. Why does it make sense to not just settle for a default culture and way of working and be proactive in designing your company culture? After doing deep-dive interviews with 50+ leaders who took it upon themselves to build a functional culture, Brett mentioned a number of solid benefits. Some of the payoffs that were mentioned are: Quoting David Cummings, “Company culture is the one sustainable competitive advantage that you have complete control over.” The glue to your team is your company culture - without it, you will not get the right behaviors. It helps you attract better talent. Among other things, having a functional culture can help your company out-position others that do not. The CEO Must Get It Taking the culture-building journey starts with the most important step: the CEO must get it. Culture starts from the top and trickles down below. Brett discussed the critical parts of creating a functional and strong culture: Define your values. This involves understanding two things: What the actual current culture is? What is the aspirational culture? Define the expected behaviours against your values. This involves being really clear with how the members should interpret these values. Listen to how Brett illustrates the above critical points as well as their practical application.

Do you recruit for ‘culture fit'? If you do, then you're wasting your time, says Bretton Putter,  author and CEO of CultureGene, a culture development, consultancy and software business.“My vision is to help millions of people lead better work lives by changing culture globally. And my mission is to help change culture development into a critical business function in the way that sales and marketing are.”Brett is a self-declared reformed recruiter, who saw the light when he was doing executive search for some CEOs who really got culture in their businesses. They made him hire based on behaviours, and while it wasn't something he was initially keen to do, he saw how effective it was - hiring great employees into a business that was clear on its culture, and has since built a business based on the idea that as a CEO, your company's culture is your only source of sustainable competitive advantage. On today's podcast:How to nail down a company's valuesCulture Decks Decoded came out of failureThe company culture decks he admiresHow to hire for values Why culture fit is his bugbearHow to embed culture into your businessHow COVID-19 has shown holes in company cultureLinks:Culture driven leader - Forbes article

Bill Horan talks to Bretton Putter author of CULTURE DECKS DECODED. Bretton will discuss what is a culture deck, is a culture created or does it just evolve, why he says culture happens below the surface, why culture is the one advantage where CEO's have complete control, and why he says prospective employees should ask interviewers to describe a company's culture.

Bretton Putter is a leading expert on startup and high-growth company culture. As Managing Partner of a global executive search firm, he sourced CxOs, VPs and Directors for more than 400 startups and high-growth companies. He is the founder and CEO of CultureGene, a company culture consultancy, writes a popular blog on culture-driven companies, is a sought-after speaker, and a contributor to Forbes. His new book is Culture Decks Decoded: Transform Your Culture Into A Visible, Conscious And Tangible Asset. “if you are going to found a company and you are setting up with other cofounders do your due diligence on him. 65% of venture capital backed companies fail because of management and often founding management issues. So if you are going to set up with a co-founder or cofounders make sure you understand exactly where you all are because lawyers are expensive to undo that sort of thing. And if you have got a great team then I recommend just do it, believing it, go for it, it's there for the taking. This is in my opinion the best time to be an entrepreneur ever.

Company culture is one of those areas which seems quite simple on a high level, yet only a few businesses excel at. This week we are bringing in Bretton Putter, the founder of CultureGene, a next generation executive search consultancy. In the episode we examine what exactly 'constitutes' company culture, the criteria to look for when hiring, and how to effectively test for cultural fit in the early days. In his most recent book, 'Culture Decks Decoded', Brett has combined his analysis of hundreds of culture decks and tackles the patterns that make up a sustainable culture. The benefits are clear, but the path to success remains vague. As Bretton says, "Probably the most commonly forgotten aspect about creating company culture is that it has to be managed."

Segment idea--7 Keys of a Great Culture Deck: The New Secret Weapon for Startups and High-Growth Companies / Expert Tips and Advice I’m contacting you with a segment idea about the most important secret weapon for any startup or high-growth company today — a culture deck. The Big Idea: Netflix. Hubspot. Patreon. LinkedIn. Valve. Besides being among the most admired companies in the world, these firms all have well-defined, ahead-of-the-pack cultures. They don’t just create a culture, however. They craft culture decks and other vital materials to convey their values, mission, vision and purpose inside as well as outside the organization. Why It Matters: Culture is critical to the success of companies. Deloitte found that 94% of executives and 88% of employees believe it’s important to business success. Yet 9 out of 10 CEOs don’t leverage their culture as a competitive advantage — the one competitive advantage they have complete control over. A culture deck is the most effective way to transmit that culture, resulting in tangible payoffs — from better hires and employee performance to more inspired investors and clients. Key Messages: In Culture Decks Decoded: Transform Your Culture into a Visible, Conscious and Tangible Asset (CCF Publishing, Nov. 8, 2018), startup and growth company culture expert Bretton Putter looks at outstanding culture decks created by top organizations.

Why the Netflix culture deck was a gamechanger, and how other companies are following suit. Why it’s so important to talk about “how we work around here.” How to create a culture deck that can scale as your company expands.
