An alternative growth plan.
Most brands that say they have a sales problem, don’t.
They have a culture problem.
They are chasing numbers that people chasing them don’t care about with time that they do.
When they miss the numbers, it is A HUGE MISS.
But it is just A SYMPTOM.
Think of a spreadsheet as a windsock for culture.
Everything starts with culture.
What if happiness was a key metric?
What if joy was a key metric?
What if the number of good people leaving was a key metric?
What if the number of weekends worked was a key metric?
What if people who felt like they were learning tons was a key metric?
What if the number of unrealistic deadlines was a key metric?
What if the number of dumb, pointless soul-sucking meetings was a key metric?
What if people felt they were doing their best work was a key metric?
Culture turbocharges the numbers.
Culture turbocharges creativity.
Culture turbocharges the quality of people you can attract.
Hmmm.
Culture grows people.
People grow businesses.
