John earned his MBA in International Business from a top program and is fluent in three languages which has allowed him to work in Europe, North, Central and South America. He started his own firm, C3—Corporate Culture Consulting, to work with leaders and their companies on their cultures. — John Waid is the founder and CEO of C3, a firm that specializes in aligning an organization's culture with its strategic goals. In his experience, culture represents the relationship of values and behaviors within an organization. When your organization's values are well-defined, employee behavior is the best indicator of how the values are being exemplified. Values are implemented by profound leaders, and leaders are people that others follow voluntarily. Leaders are responsible for the culture, coaches are responsible for the growth, and managers are responsible for operational excellence. Although all of those components play a role in the organization's success, you cannot achieve growth and operational excellence with a frail culture. The most well-run companies put their employees first, their customers second, and their profits third. At the top of the pyramid is your leader or the ambassador of your culture, and at the base is your results. Everything in between determines how much you are going to grow. However, many organizations do not have a structure like that in place. In this episode of the Absolute Advantage, John Waid explains the direct link between a company's culture and its performance. He shares his methodology and talks about the role of culture in recruiting, growth, and ultimately, profit.
