What Kind of Culture Will it Take to
Win in 2023?
It’s both an easy and a hard question to answer, is it not? The easy part is rattling off a list of characteristics you’d like your company’s culture to possess. Most CEOs could do that in their sleep. The hard part is personalizing it—in other words, making it so vivid and real that you cannot imagine not having that kind of culture in your business. It’s the kind of culture that is a magnet for premier talent and operates with a unified vision for growing the company. At VisionLink, we call it a high-performance culture.

Through algorithms, AI and new tools, CEOs have made numbers talk in the same old-fashioned way as picking petals off a daisy. Employees love me, employees love me not. At what point do we stop listening, though? At what moment do too many voices—a cacophony of data points, a slew of spreadsheets, a field of daisy petals—become over-whelming to the senses?
