Welcome.

We appreciate you taking the time to work on your leadership and social/emotional skills. Here's a review of what we covered in our time together:

Topic: Code & Culture

Create a culture that enables greatness.

  1. How do you feel about the culture of your organization?
  2. In what ways have you benefited from your organizational culture?
  3. What values does your team/organization seek to demonstrate?

The Code of the Samurai

This video is from our Level 3 student training and it covers the unique code of the Samurai culture. It's a good example of how to create a shared mindset and values.
