The Culture Difference
Culture is probably the most influential factor when it comes to achieving high-performance. Most practice owners know this. However, many struggle to develop a high-performance culture for many reasons. Some simply do not have the time necessary to nurture a high-performance culture. For others, there may not be a strong appreciation for culture. Others may lack an understanding of what culture is, why it is important, how to develop and nurture it, and how it impacts results.

That said, for those looking to build enduring practices, there is one factor that has the greatest influence over the others and is responsible for the fulfillment of the organization’s vision and purpose. It is culture.

These visionary leaders will gain an edge in attracting the best talent in this competitive landscape while others may struggle to keep up.
