CULTURE DRIFT and how to guard aginst it

Guarding Against Culture Drift

Post by Craig Groeschel of www.Lifechurch.tv  

Once the culture is healthy, you'll want to guard against what I call "culture drift." Organizations don't typically stay healthy without intentionality.

Some suggestions for guarding against culture drift include:

  • Design systems to highlight and reward living the culture. (What is measured typically gets done. Set appropriate goals in the direction of your values.)
  • Publicly applaud when people live out the values. Celebrate the wins!
  • Program toward your ministry values.
  • Work hard on training new staff members and volunteers to serve Christ within the values and culture of your ministry.
  • Privately correct those who step outside the culture.
  • Renew the vision regularly.
