↳ Growth beats perfection every time.
4. People celebrate each other’s wins.
↳ Success isn’t a zero-sum game.
5. You can have a life outside of work.

Here’s the truth leaders need to hear:
Culture isn’t what you write on the wall.
It’s what happens when you’re not in the room.
It’s not about:
❌ Pizza parties
❌ Ping pong tables
❌ “We’re a family” speeches
It’s about:
✅ Real flexibility
✅ Genuine respect
✅ Actual growth opportunities
Your team knows the difference.
They can feel when it’s real.
Leaders, here’s your wake-up call:
You control the weather in your workplace.
Make it somewhere people thrive,
not just survive.
Your Team’s Happiness Isn’t Luck
