Changing your work culture is hard. But it’s easier if you try the following hack:
Hire a ringer.
The next time you need to bring a new face to the team, think about the change you wish to make in your culture.
Then, when going through applicants, pay attention to those who embody the new values you’re looking for.
Then, when you hire that ringer into your organization, they’ll bring that value with them.
This helps in many ways.
- You’ll see that value bring returns on your investment directly
- You’re able to praise and acknowledge that behavior
- The rest of the team will see that value demonstrated and take note
Look for a ringer in your next hire, and see your organization change and flourish.
