Driving a strong business starts with the people who work for your business, and those people align with the business through the company culture. How are you shaping yours?

A high-performing culture is one where people drive performance because of the right behaviors. They’ve embedded these behaviors in their everyday life. People in high-performing cultures require less supervision. They’re empowered to achieve goals that are consistent with the organization’s direction.

As a leader, you need to understand how to build a high-performing culture and be responsible for making it happen. There are six components to building a high-performing culture.

Define the culture
What is a high performance? What are the desired behaviors? How will you know when you’ve achieved a high-performing culture?

Set direction
What’s the vision for the organization? What’s the organization’s purpose? You must be able to articulate this to the team.

Communicate the culture
What are the communication vehicles and techniques you’re going to use to reinforce culture every day?
