Chris' approach to improving your workplace culture
Chris' approach to improving your workplace culture
Employees—of all generations—desire and deserve workplaces where they are respected and validated for their ideas, efforts, and contributions, every day.
S. Chris Edmonds is a recognized authority on organizational culture, values alignment, and leadership accountability. As Founder and CEO of The Purposeful Culture Group, he helps leaders intentionally shape workplace cultures that deliver measurable results while fostering measurable respect.
With more than three decades of experience advising senior leaders across industries, Chris and his team equip senior leaders with practical, research-backed frameworks that transform culture into a true competitive advantage.
Chris’ proven three-step process helps leaders bring their Organizational Constitution to life:
Define
Chris and his team guide senior leaders to specify their organization's servant purpose (how what their company does serves their communities), shared values, measurable valued behaviors, strategies, and goals. These elements formalize their company's ideal workplace culture, where respect is as important as results.
Align
Chris and his team coach senior leaders to model and champion the servant purpose, values, and valued behaviors contained in every interaction. To check values alignment, every formal leader is rated by their team members on the degree to which they model the organization's valued behaviors.
Values alignment is celebrated, and values misalignment is coached so that every leader is a role model for the organization's ideal workplace culture.
Refine
Chris and his team direct leaders to pay as much attention to values as they do to results. Leaders must monitor progress, celebrate gains, and redirect misaligned players, plans, decisions, and actions so that every leader and team member is working in alignment with the company's results AND respect expectations.
