I read the other day, “Culture is a gravitational pull.” So imagine gravity. We cannot wake up and decide to ignore gravity. It doesn’t work that way. No matter what we choose to do, gravity is still going to keep us walking with our feet on the ground.
Some cultures can be that strong. We HOPE that if a culture is that strong – it is a good one. Because if it wasn’t – – if it was a negative, hierarchical, manipulative, squashing culture… we would have victims and martyrs standing around waiting for someone to tell them what to do. And no one would be able to break free from the negative force.
But a healthy culture can PULL TO POSITIVITY. What does that mean?
It can make things POSSIBLE instead of impossible. It can focus our PURPOSE; encourage PLAY; celebrate PROGRESS; PROMOTE from within and PRODUCE results. And PERPETUALLY PREPARE us to serve others.
So – jump up. Be glad those feet land on the floor with the guiding power of gravity and allow our Taking Flight culture to PULL TO POSITIVITY.
May the force be with you!!!!! 🙂
Share what you think.
Thank you for sharing Terri!
In May I will be with Phoenix for two years. It has been a great two years! I love the Phoenix culture, but have to admit, I am finding myself using the term “the Culture of Phoenix” as a big part of my vocabulary lately. I truly believe in what the company stands for, because I see it expressed each and every day by those around me. It is the belief in the culture of Phoenix that pushes and challenges me to higher/better accomplishments.
