10 Great Culture Quotes - Superhero Edition


My family all love the super hero movies, and together we picked out ten quotes that everyone can use at work to improve their culture.........


1 
Working together is critical, no matter how small or large the team is. If everyone in the company is not pulling in the same direction, then it's going to be hard to get things done. Do not pursue your own agenda, or tolerate if from those around you.

2 
If you're not learning, then you're not growing, and soon your skills will be obsolete. Continuous learning is a life skill you need to have - or one day you may lose your hammer.

3
Assume positive intent from those around you - only super villains come to work to screw up your day. It is unlikely that this applies to your colleagues.

4
It's hard to remove the brilliant jerks because of the results they deliver. Do not tolerate it - get rid of them before people get angry and real damage is done.

5
You can make a difference. No matter how hard the challenge or how impossible it seems, change always starts with you. 

6
Innovation usually needs a kick start. Analysis paralysis and too much planning can lead to the world changing before anything get's done. It's not arrogant, it's smart.

7
Lot's of people talk a good game, but ultimately your reputation is defined by your actions. Trust starts here. 

8
Your career will not follow a straight path to the top, and most companies go through pain during their financial year. Maintaining a positive attitude will help those around you deal with the tough times - no matter how weird the people you work with are.

9
Don't be afraid to make the tough decisions, companies get screwed up when they forget this. It's typically much easier to apologise than get permission - and you know you're doing the right thing, because you are right there in the thick of it.

10
You need to use your gifts to help others - if you're skills are not being used, then you are unlikely to be happy.
