Three Ships
1. Relationships-who are the people in your circle of influence?

2. Ownership-buying in, not to the rules and regulations but to the lifestyle.

3. Leadership-holding the next man accountable, lead with love.

Culture is what YOU make it to be. In terms of culture, you get what you tolerate. @ShakaSmart said it best - it boils down to how you act, interact & react. Ask yourself this - do your actions help or hurt the culture?

We all know there is a price to be paid. What far fewer understand is that the price often changes, even daily. You have to condition yourself to be ready to exceed whatever it takes to be successful at any given moment. It takes what it takes

Talent matters but so does character. If you don’t hold toxic talent accountable you’ve set a new, unhealthy standard and the culture crumbles.

Define the standard, live the standard, hold the team accountable to the standard.

Eliminate complaining.
Just do the work.
