Josh Levine believes in great Mondays. Every employee can feel energized and ready to go to work each week by clearly defining their purpose. Purpose is more than earning a paycheck, it's being interested in the work you are doing, understanding why you are doing it, and bringing energy to the big idea you are serving. When you understand your purpose, the tedious work you do has a reason…even on Mondays. In this episode, Josh asks us all a relevant question: with all of this disruption in the workplace, is your purpose still relevant? This is employee engagement in the digital workplace. If your purpose is still clearly defined and relevant, it doesn't matter if you are in the office or not. Employees can work from anywhere and be aligned on the reason why they are there. It's a powerful tool for driving performance and productivity. Thank you Josh for your timely insights as we built the future of work. Josh's Book!

Nearly 1/2 of all workers are thinking about leaving. A bad company culture is not only bad for employees. It’s bad for business.

Write Your Company's Obituary: Identify or Rediscover Your Company's Purpose Having to write your company's obituary sounds a bit morbid but there's a good reason why doing this is important. One result is that doing so will help you identify and rediscover your company's purpose.  Josh Levine is a culture company strategist and works with technology, social enterprise organizations, and firms to help them improve their work. His goal is to make the employees love what they're doing by building strong relationships, higher trust, and deeper engagement.  Josh published a book called Great Mondays: How to  Design a Company Culture That Employees Love. It talks about all his learnings for the past 10 years in advancing the idea of company culture as a strategic advantage. It defined what culture is and gives people the tools that they need to improve the culture.  Write your company's obituary  This was a tool that Josh's mentor used and many clients would react negatively upon hearing it. There is more to sales than just putting the product out there and selling it. It's more than just the numbers. Doing business isn't only about the money; it's also about understanding what you are trying to do with your company and with your life.  This is also about knowing your own purpose and helping the organization discover its  ‘why?'  Imagine that your business closes its doors after 30 years. Don't think of the reason why it shut down. Your goal is to write down two or three short paragraphs about why your company will be remembered and will be most missed. This will give you the opportunity to see what you achieved that made the difference.  Josh's team works with a board executive team and leadership peers together. They make teams write because what matters isn't just the end result. They also consider the kind of language, the words, and the phrases used together.  Obituary exercise Don't stop short of the fantastic. When you start writing your company obituary, you need to go beyond how far you think you can make it.  Be bold about the things that you think your company can achieve. #Salessuccess The point of the exercise is to come up with your achievements and look for the possible ways that you're going to achieve those.  Josh had a client who said that they would  solve poverty. It's a far-fetched goal and impossible to do but it didn't keep them from aiming to do  so. When the discussion happened, the team thought of how to make it work and figured out that their technology connects communities together. The community that works together  will solve poverty. With that, their previously written achievement of solving poverty now sounds plausible.    Define your purpose Next, you have to define your purpose. The company's values are the hows and the company's purposes are the whys. Businesses and companies need to figure out the why behind what they're doing. You won't be able to find your purpose if you're thinking about this quarter's return or this quarter's sales numbers.  As a sales leader, you can help define the purpose by shaping the culture of your company according to the company's vision. You can help strengthen the team and find the values and purpose of the company over time.  Components of a company's culture  There are six components mentioned in the book Great Mondays. The first three are as follows:  Purpose Values Behaviors The first two define the company's purpose and values. The third component is behaviors. Behavior is the center point of culture and is what you are trying to adjust to help  people make better business decisions.  The next three are the following:  Recognition Rituals Cues Recognition and rewards have been used in businesses. These are effective strategies in aligning behaviors to build and strengthen the synapses of culture. Your goal is to spread your culture and share the behaviors.  Keep reminding your peers why they're in the business and getting the people back to the top of the pyramid. Love what you and find something that you believe in to make everything worthwhile.  “Write Your Company's Obituary” episode resources Great Mondays: How to Design a Company Culture That Employees Love is available on Amazon.

It plays such a big role.” Educator, author, and designer Josh Miles has made his mission helping organizations understand the need for culture design in our rapidly changing digital world. His new book Great Mondays charges organizations with developing a company culture that employees will love.

His new book Great Mondays: How to Design a Company Culture Employees Love is available on Amazon. You can find him around the web @akajoshlevine Episode Highlights The problem with culture problems. Josh began the episode by sharing that most culture engagements don't present as culture problems. “No one asks for help with their culture. They talk about their values. They need help refreshing their values.” How do you address culture? Josh has a six-step system: (1) purpose, (2) values, (3) behaviors, (4) rituals, (5) recognition, (6) and cues. What brand has a great culture? Specifically, I asked Josh for a brand with a great culture who we might not normally think of. He told the story of a friend who was interviewing someone at Airbnb. The company was holding on-site job interviews at the same time and he observed them working to prepare the space with signs welcoming the potential new hires. This is a cue that says a lot about how they value team members. “There’s a real culture-brand alignment." What brand has made Josh smile recently? “I have two companies. First, Slack, who just launched a new logo. They also align with my personality.” Josh also shared another example – his friend that just started a new bike shop Full Metal Cycles.

What brand has made Steve smile recently? Steve shared how his adopted hometown of Nashville makes him smile every time he sees the skyline as he descends in a plane returning from a trip.
