The We Track: Team & Chapter Leadership
Culture by Design: How Leaders Shape the Rooms They Enter
- About this session
- “Culture by Design: How Leaders Shape the Rooms They Enter” — Dr. Jordan Jones & Bernardo Garza (Saturday, 10:20 AM). Kimberly attended this session.
- What the session explored
- One slide, “The Culture Leaders Create,” named four parts of culture with a question each: Trust (Can I be honest?), Ownership (Can I lead?), Belonging (Do I matter?) and Legacy (What remains?). A second slide said trust is not the absence of accountability, and that it grows when people can speak honestly — through clear communication, room for questions and disagreement, and addressing concerns directly and fairly.
- Kimberly’s reflection
- Culture is not a poster on the wall. It is the sum of small choices: who gets heard, how mistakes are handled, and whether people can see a place for themselves.
- For a new member
- A new member can shape culture right away by listening first and making room for others to contribute.
- From the session slide
Trust
“Can I be honest?”
Ownership
“Can I lead?”
Belonging
“Do I matter?”
Legacy
“What remains?”
- These four concepts and questions come from the Culture by Design session slide.
- Next-step question
- In the groups I belong to, what is one habit that helps people feel they belong — and one that gets in the way?
