Golden State @Warriors Coach Steve Kerr has best the blueprint for starting to culture build at ground zero: ❓ Culture isn't a slogan it's self-awareness. Before a team can answer “Who are we?”, its leaders need to answer that question, and behave accordingly. 💒 Choose a few values worth operationalizing. When Coach Kerr was hired by Golden State he chose: -Competitiveness -Compassion -Joy - Mindfulness And then designed the environment to make them visible: Hired people who we're competitive in nature 🔥, built systems that show people they matter ❤️, planned practices that energized and infused joy 😁🎶, and paid attention to HOW the work gets done 🤔, not just whether it gets done. 🧭 Identity is a decision-making filter. When your values are clear, every hire, habit, and hard conversation can be measured against the same question: “Does this move align with who we say we are?” ✅ or 🚫 = clear direction on next step.
