10 Culture-Killers: A Practical Guide on Building Culture | Ep. 162

The Art of SBA Lending

In this episode of The Art of SBA Lending, we’re diving into the heart of building a strong and intentional company culture.

Ray and our panel of experts discuss why defining a company’s culture goes beyond labeling it as “good” or “bad.” Instead, it’s about identifying what makes your organization unique and aligning it with the values and behaviors you want to see reflected in your team every day.

We’ll explore:

• The importance of crafting clear, actionable core values and how they can serve as the backbone of a successful culture

• How to embed these values throughout your operations, from hiring practices to daily interactions

• Ray’s top 10 “culture killers” and the steps you can take to eliminate them from your organization, ensuring a positive and productive work environment

Our panel of Art of SBA Contributors bring a wealth of experience and insights to the conversation:

-Chris Hurn

-Brooke Mirenda, President & CEO of SEDCO

-Jeannie Yoder, SBA Regional Executive at United Community Bank.

Whether you’re just starting to build a culture from the ground up or looking to refine the one you have, this episode offers essential insights and actionable advice. We’ll share real-world examples, personal experiences, and tested strategies to help you create a place where people want to work, grow, and succeed.
