Demystifying Culture & Leadership: Strategies for a Successful Business (Skillshare)

Ready to unlock a stronger culture for your company & team? Join the team at Gray Scalable as they share their innovative approach for fostering successful teams in the digital age! Company culture is often misunderstood as perks, but it's so much bigger. Culture includes the behaviors, norms, and values that guide your company—and it's key to an effective organization and your bottom line. But: how do you put that into action? How do you improve over time?

In this class, you'll join 5 leaders to explore core essentials:

  • President and founder Charlie Gray on the fundamental “what” and “why” of culture
  • Lucia Smith on engagement & the emotional connection your employees feel
  • Aja Deodato on designing your organization for long-term success
  • Meg Hughes on nurturing great managers
  • Sam Feldman on using analytics to measure, inform, and guide your strategy

Every lesson includes frameworks, best practices, and checklists so you can take action and make a real impact at your organization.
This class is perfect for managers, leaders, founders, and everyone curious how great businesses run. By the end of the lessons, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the actions you can take to foster a vibrant, successful and meaningful work culture that sets your business up for success.
Share your company values.
Everyone is welcome to share insights, questions, and feedback! Whether you're a founder or team members, take a few moments to post in the Project Gallery:

  • Introduce your company
  • Describe your culture in 2-4 sentences
  • List your company values

If your company hasn't yet articulated its values, consider describing the behaviors and norms that govern your everyday interactions. What motivates new team members to join? How are decisions made? All these pillars form your values—and once they're articulated, you'll have a living, breathing document to guide your company culture.
