Whether we wear the Datamax logo visibly every day, or simply embody it through our everyday actions, there's a certain authenticity behind a Culture Champion.
In the book “Gung Ho,” author Ken Blanchard writes this:
“Human minds, when linked to a common purpose, are like a series of linked computers. Together they achieve infinitely more than they would acting alone …. When it comes to enthusiasm, the mind is again similar to a computer. I can program my computer to be a word processor or an analyzer of engineering designs. I can program my brain to be unhappy with every eventuality, or to look forward enthusiastically to the day ahead.”

Managing subcultures is like planning a trip. You plug your destination into the Waze App GPS, and discover that many optional routes appear. Different paths (or routes) only work when everyone is aligned on a single destination. Ours? Creating Raving Fans.
How do we determine if subcultures are in agreement with, or against our greater Datamax culture? Amidst location and department diversity, how do we achieve harmony? Consider the Little Blue Book.
Championship culture doesn't just yield internal Raving Fans. It yields Raving Results. Hear what your teammates have to say about the competitive advantages that come with Datamax Culture.
