Vlog #7
In this weekly update, a new videographer joins the Helcim team. Follow Chris as he films his first day at Helcim and learns our approach to building a great team.
Culture Comes From The Top
I'm a strong believer that the two primary functions of a CEO are; 1) set a vision for the company and; 2) establish the company's culture.
A lot has been written about vision, but a leader's responsibility when it comes to culture is often less emphasized. I believe that culture can have just as much of an impact on whether your company succeeds as the products, vision, and plans that you devise.
As a CEO, it is your responsibility to cultivate a work atmosphere that allows your business to succeed. The best way of doing so is leading by example "“ if you want your staff to be friendly, you have to be friendly yourself. If you want your staff to be hardworking, you have to work hard yourself.
Helcim is still a small company, and I fortunately still have the opportunity to spend time with new team members. Spending my day with a new hire not only gives me a chance to get to know them, but also allows me to show firsthand how our team interacts, works, and sets expectations. This week, I had the chance to do so with our new videographer.
Welcome to the team Chris!
