Fractional COO and your company culture

We recently sat down with a potential client and discussed areas of their business where they were having challenges and were looking for help. One of their challenges was company culture. Now, we know that you don’t just decide that “ this is the culture that I want”. Company culture is a reflection of who you are and what you believe in as an owner or CEO. He asked me what I thought that we could do to help him. Great question. So, here are my thoughts.

1. Define and communicate company values: as the fractional COO, we can work with the leadership team to define and communicate company values that align with the company's mission and goals. This helps to establish a clear set of standards that all employees can understand and strive to uphold and foster a sense of shared purpose. If your company is running on EOS, you know what this means.
2. Foster collaboration: The fractional COO can encourage collaboration and teamwork by implementing processes and systems that promote open communication, idea-sharing, and cross-functional teamwork. This helps to break down silos and encourages employees to work together towards common goals.
3. Encourage transparency: The fractional COO can help create a culture of transparency by establishing regular communication channels for employees to provide feedback and ask questions. This helps to build trust and promotes a sense of ownership and accountability among employees. This is important if you are going to look to not only grow your business but add new folks to your team.
4. Establish KPI: The fractional COO can help establish clear performance metrics that align with company goals and values. This helps to create a culture of accountability and encourages employees to take ownership of their work and company values its employees and is invested in their success.

This is what we do at Fractional Executive Solutions. We help develop a culture of accountability, performance excellence and to be honest, have fun!.
