    Newton’s Law of Culture In Motion

    A culture in motion tends to stay in motion.

    We can say this with confidence, every company has a culture.

    And every culture has motion.

    Focused motion, a culture by design.

    Unfocused motion, a culture by default.

    Building a culture worth defending is the most important long-term priority for a business owner and CEO.

    And if it’s not, it should be.

    Here’s an easy way to see the obvious yet often invisible.

    Compare the organizational benefit to building a personal wellness and personal vibrancy lifestyle.

    All able-bodied adults know personal health is important. How many actually live like they believe it – as if their life depends on it?

    Five percent?

    Less?

    Now apply this analogy back to organizational health.

    How many CEO’s make cultural vibrancy their number one long-term priority?

    Like physical wellness, corporate Organizational Vibrancy culture must be a daily focus.

    Well, it doesn’t need to be a daily focus, just like regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest don’t need to be a daily focus.

    We reap what we sow.

    As surely as gravity keeps us grounded on Earth.
