Key thoughts on building and sustaining trust in organizations: 1) Integrity must be embedded; 2) Treatment of people (create the right culture); 3) Focus on shared goals; 4) Do what's right, regardless of personal risk.

In almost every organization, there is a concept of overhead. Inc.com provides a solid overview of overhead, but simply stated it is the “costs incurred to make something else possible.” This is a great definition, and it should be applied squarely on leadership.
Overhead costs on leadership should be low, meaning little burden on others. There are certain required overhead costs to leadership:
Mentoring Coaching Training Setting direction Listening Communicating Other enabling activities….
What kills a culture and team member spirits is a loaded overhead leader. The costs of a heavily burdened overhead leader can be very damaging. The costs to make something else happen, in bad leadership terms, are too high.

It can be like an overpowering cologne or perfume. When someone enters the room, the scent overtakes everything, and we can barely breathe.
The same happens when someone’s individual passion overtakes a conversation or decision. What seems to be the unfortunate goal is for one person’s passion to be imposed on others. It is passion domination!
The discussion on passion in organizations gets very interesting as we dig into it. There are issues to be highlighted and resolved.
One key question is: Can passion be transferred?
The question centers on two dimensions:
1) Personal passion 2) Organization passion

Interesting thoughts. Having a solid company culture is essential, but does it need a Chief Culture Officer or just good leadership? Great points to consider here:
"So is it time for you to create the post of Chief Culture Officer? Emphatic Yes. Do you want your business to survive the next wave of broken and shallow business models? Do you understand that value has multiple meanings? Do you want to build a real business, not a flip-out? Then do it. Get an extra chair for the C-Suite and surround it with a gracious and comfortable space. Make sure there’s another comfortable chair across the desk, too. You’ll spend some time in that one.
Is it time to hire a Chief Culture Officer? Or at least dream about the possibilities?"
