Creating a culture where people feel safe and free to be vulnerable is by far one of the most challenging tasks any leader of a company can perform. Given that, it can also be very fulfilling. Truly that it is a leader’s responsibility to create a home for its employees where they can be themselves, free to make mistakes, start all over and do better. All these can take into place when there is a solid culture anyone can turn to for guidance and direction. Not everyone is perfect, I think nobody is. But anyone can try, give it their best shot, and try again. We will come to realize just how relevant having a good set of culture can make or break a company. Today, our guest, Tim Padgett, will introduce to us the two faces of culture: the bad and the good. In this episode, we will have a clearer picture of how a bad culture looks like and what damage it can do not only to the morale of its employees but also its impact on the business as a whole. Tim Padgett is the CEO of The Pepper Group company who, having been inspired by the bad experience he had from a company that’s founded on bad culture, established his own company and ensured that the core values governing his company reflects none of the cultures he and his colleagues had to embody from their previous company. Let’s all set into the journey of realization that the core of culture is just the regular things we do every day and know that through education, we can deal with win won negotiations and utilize our mistakes as a strong foundation for success.   “It doesn’t matter what we teach. All knowledge can be a leverage later.” -Tim Padgett   In this episode, you will learn: 1:45 – Introduction to The Pepper Group company 3:45 – Personal definition and perspective about culture 5:55 – A program called "Kick Ass" 10:40 – The process of creating the core values of The Pepper Group 12:15 – Frameworks of the company’s culture 26:00 – A powerful recruiting message 32:00 – The dynamics that make people move 34:45 – Philosophy Tim got from other companies 35:28 – 2 main job responsibilities in the company 40:18 – Examples of a bad culture experienced: culture of family, culture of pride 46:05 – How to build a culture of joy   Resources: PepperGroup.com CultureCzars.com   Connect with Tim: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Website   Connect with Will: LinkedIn Website
