In part 4 of a continuing discussion about creating a culture where people work well together, I again admit that these short posts are easily an oversimplification of more complex organizational realities. This is especially true since I am limiting this topic to three essential factors that I propose are central to establish a healthy and supportive relational climate in an organization – yet space limits are space limits!

This week I continue the discussion regarding creating a culture in an organization where people work well together and are supportive of one another. And yes, admittedly, creating and maintaining such an environment is not an easy task. It takes the courage to lead.

I have also previously plead “guilty” to the likelihood of oversimplification by narrowing the focus to only discuss three essential factors that must be developed, and maintained, to establish a healthy and supportive relational climate in an organization.

In previous weeks, I have explored three primary responsibilities of leadership that we keep in mind when establishing a leadership setting to which the emerging millennial generation will respond (read introduction here).

To provide a focus, I narrowed the scope of what is required of leaders to best serve those they lead – including millennial team-members, as proposed by my friend and world-class leader Mike.  

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. — Jack Welch

In previous weeks, I have explored several characteristics that may be helpful in establishing a leadership setting to which the emerging millennial generation will respond (click here to read). Over the next few weeks I will look at what every leader can do, at a minimum, to lead the entire team while incorporating the specific insights listed above regarding leadership of millennials.
