Culture is the behaviors you exhibit - Brian Elliott
It's how you treat people. It’s what you emphasize, what you reward, what you resource, and who and what gets new opportunities and gets promoted. Those are the signals you send people to tell them what kind of culture you really have -
People who have flexibility in where and when they work are actually more connected to their teams than those that are five days a week in the office. My giving you the freedom and flexibility is saying that I'm going to base my assessment of you on the outcomes you drive. It says, I trust you. And nothing builds connection like trust in the first place. - Brian Elliott
Nothing builds connection like trust.
Put that one next to
'Distributed doesn't mean never together'
on the Brian Elliott wall of fame.
(in school, we had an awesome quote collection, on post-its, on the mirrors)
It's 2025. I said I'm not talking about days in the office year.
A much better use of time and energy is spent investing in team cohesion.
And yes, that includes very intentional time together.
One of the best in the business.
Thanks again Brian
