“Culture is dynamic, it’s changing every single day. Culture is never finished. Sometimes your culture doesn’t need a full teardown or rebuild but your culture just might need a renovation”
7:30 – Jason introduces today’s topic. Everyone in the cultural ecosystem helps create the culture. Most don’t need a full rebuild but do need to be revitalized or a renovation. Author Kevin Oakes in his book, Culture Renovation is referenced by Jason in this podcast as he likes the metaphor Kevin uses.
8:50 – Wherever you are in your culture journey, we are going to think about 3 phases, the design phase, the build phase, and the maintenance phase.
- Design phase – Lays out the blueprints for what you want to achieve. Check out the 6 A’s of leading change podcast here. Access what needs to be kept and carried forward, and identify what needs to be let go of. Follow the 6 A’s here as Jason mentions to bring the best of the design to life.
- Build phase – Gather people around and communicate the future vision of what you want to build. Jason goes into detail about the build phase.
- Maintenance phase – Recognize that culture isn’t finished. The culture must be maintained. Teach other leaders to help maintain your culture over time.

ABOUT THE THERMOSTAT
Conversations and micro-thoughts to engage your mind and heart.
A thermostat is proactive. It sets the temperature in a room. Controls the temperature. Regulates the temperature. But in today’s distracted, fast-paced and digital world, it’s easy for individuals and organizations to act more like thermometers, slipping into reactionary thinking, becoming scattered and inconsistent. The most compelling leaders, teams, organizations, families, or collection of humans of any kind operate in thermostat mode. They calibrate their mind and heart to set the temperature for the vision and culture they want to create. Jason Barger, globally celebrated author, keynote speaker, and founder of Step Back Leadership Consulting, is the host of The Thermostat, a podcast journey to discover authentic leadership, create compelling cultures and find clarity of mission, vision, and values.
