What’s your go-to drink at Starbucks? If you don’t have one (much less one for each season or time of day) you are likely a minority. When you spot the mermaid-like green sign on the corner of a new city or at the airport, you know what your experience will be - and it will be consistent. From the moment you enter, you see it in the displays, taste it in the product, and feel it with the customer service. With all of that in mind, as well as the relatively positive myriad of stories in recent press, we thought we would look into the values that drive this brand and its stakeholders.

When you hear the name Purdue Pharmaceuticals, what comes to mind? For many, the first thing is their participation in the opioid crisis that peaked in 2019 with over 70k deaths. Full disclosure, the purpose of this study is not to dig into scandals past, but to reflect on how they may have been avoided if a strong set of CoreVals™ were to be established and adhered to leading up to and during that time.    As a quick refresher (since a decade-worth of news has occurred since 2019) Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin®, was found to have fueled the opioid crisis by participatin ..read more

EOS® is a great foundation on which to build a thriving culture. The Culture Fix® will do the rest

At Culture Czars®, we not only help companies with their culture using The Culture Fix®, but we are avid practitioners of EOS®: the Entrepreneurial Operating System® made popular by the book Traction. Why is that? Simply put: you cannot build a great corporate culture in the midst of chaos. Often when we are called in to help with a company’s culture, we are experiencing a disorganized environment, or one where the accountabilities aren’t clear and organizational communication is lacking. By implementing EOS as a foundation, we can then build a stronger culture that will stand the test of time ..read more

Photo by Alex Kotliarskyi on Unsplash Throughout the last several weeks, businesses have been focused on simply continuing operations in the midst of a global pandemic. While we have discussed maintaining culture during this time as well as using your CoreVals™ to facilitate difficult conversations, have you considered what your corporate culture may look like once offices are back open? Though shelter-in-place orders will soon begin to expire, our daily lives will still be far from the normal that we once knew. From new cultural habits learned during a months-long work from home to taking pr ..read more

In the past decade, we have seen many of the world’s biggest companies thrive- such as Starbucks and McDonalds - when their actions reflect dedication and commitment to their stated Core Values. On the contrary, in cases such as Wells Fargo, Boeing & Perdue Pharmaceuticals, their values seemed to be just words on the wall, as their leadership compromised these words in lieu of profits and a focus simply on shareholder value. As you read through the glowing examples- and cautionary tales- mentioned above, keep in mind who has survived and continues to thrive, and who will have a tainted rep ..read more
