1: Getting better at getting better is what RiseWithDrew is all about.
Monday through Thursday, we explore ideas from authors, thought leaders, and exemplary organizations. On Friday, I share something about myself or what we are working on at PCI.
You can do this.
The last two Fridays, we’ve explored why being a great place to work is a great idea.
First, great workplaces are poised to win the war for talent.
Second, great workplaces outperform the competition by a factor of two.
That can be you. That can be your organization.
2: In 2022, PCI earned a spot on Fortune magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list. We’re currently the #55 best medium-sized company to work for.
But it wasn’t always so.
My dad, who founded PCI, was a great guy. I loved him dearly. He was the best man at my wedding…
And, he was an old school, “my way of the highway” kind of manager.
He was a perfectionist.
He wanted to make every decision.
And he did…
Which is a wonderful skill set for an entrepreneur.
Because it’s incredibly difficult to get a new venture off the ground. That type of passion, even obsession, can make the difference in making it through the start-up phase.
After all, four out of five new ventures fail within five years of their founding.
3: But growing a company requires a different skill set from starting a company.
Today, PCI’s workplace culture differs dramatically from when I showed up in 1995.
Dramatically different.
My point is this: You can change your workplace culture.
“Small, Smart Choices done consistency over time will make a radical difference,” Darren Hardy tells us.
You can do this.
More next week!
