Sean Glaze uses Bruce Lipton's epigenetics research, which shows identical cells develop differently based on their environment, to explain how workplace culture shapes team performance. A leader's environment determines whether average employees become great or great ones decline. The best leaders focus on strengthening connections and commitments that make up culture.
So what does epigenetics have to do with your team's performance? Well, Bruce Lipton has done stem cell research, and he found that identical cells became different based upon the environment that they were placed in. And it's exactly the same with your people. That's why your workplace culture is so important to team performance. See, if you put average people in a thriving system, they become great. But if you put great people in a broken system, they become average or worse. So if you want your people to thrive, you want to focus as a leader on improving the environment that they're working in. The quality of your culture determines the long-term quality of the results that you're going to get. So if you want better results, if you want your people to thrive, focus on the connections and commitments that build your culture. I'm Sean Glaze. That's what effective leaders do.
