In every team, family or organizational culture, what we ALLOW lingers and what we TEACH triggers. What attitudes, habits, behaviors, tendencies, and operations are you allowing to linger in your ecosystem and what progress do you want to trigger?

What we allow, lingers. What we teach, triggers.
Questions to Ponder:
- What are you allowing on your team in the cultures in your life and work?
- What are you intentionally teaching your team, the cultures in your life and work?
- What do you want your culture to become in the future?
- What are you going to proactively do to shape it?
Remember, culture has never been more important than it is today but it has to be proactive. It takes effort to design to lead. What you allow lingers. What you teach triggers.

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.
