LEAP - Transformación Cultural

A few weeks ago, Meta fired a bunch of employees for abusing their perks privileges. for some people this was a question of entitlement. for others it was just bad, unethical behavior but for me it was more a question of a lack of focus on culture and poor leadership. at a time where #tech companies are moving faster than ever, leadership and culture are things that are being thrown by the wayside. People are so busy being busy, they have forgotten what's important and then they act surprise when people behave the way they do. thank you Business Insider insider for this article and Lara O'Reilly for allowing me to contribute to it. People focus on what can be measured. when we stop focusing on #leadership and on culture because we believe that they can't be measured bad things happen. and BTW - that's complete BS as well. they can be measured. the best companies are winners in the long term because they have a strong culture strong #culture comes from a clear set of four or five core values the responsibility for transmitting those values falls to #leaders and the behavior of those leaders sets the tone for everybody else. if you want to avoid a grubgate at your company, focus on leadership, focus on culture. The rest will take care of itself. and stop blaming your employees. own it

greetings everyone from Caracas Venezuela! super excited and thrilled to be here in Caracas for the first time to be giving the closing keynote at the startup Venezuela summit 2024 hosted and organized by my good friend Esteban Torbar when Esteban asked me to come and give a keynote here, I'll it I was a little bit apprehensive. it's hard not to be when you look at the news and you see what's happened in this country. but the reality is that it doesn't change the fact that the country has enormous potential and amazing and talented entrepreneurs. Just the past few days I've met some incredible people and come across some really high growth and high impact businesses. entrepreneurship has the capability of making massive change happen. not just in producing better goods and services and cool technologies that make our lives easier and more pleasant but also from the perspective of giving people hope, jobs and opportunities for personal and professional growth. and that was really my reason for coming here. If I can share my experience, successes, setbacks and all the things I've learned to help a few entrepreneurs light the spark of creativity and ion to start an amazing business that helps others, then I have to do that. here's to making the world a better place. one entrepreneur and one startup at a time peace and love Patrick #founder #startup #venezuela #leadership
