THE CULTURE CODE: UNLOCKING LEADERSHIP THAT TRANSFORMS ORGANIZATIONS

Presenter: Jeremy Foster - Maxwell Leadership Inc.

In this session we will explore the critical difference between vision and culture, and how vision provides direction, but culture determines behavior and pace. A strong vision may set goals, but only a welldeveloped culture ensures that those goals are met with consistency, resilience, and excellence. This session will focus on building a leadership culture that prioritizes developing leaders and not just producing results. We will discuss how a leadership-driven organization fosters holistic wellness across multiple dimensions—physical, emotional, social, intellectual, occupational, environmental, financial, and spiritual. Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies to create a thriving, people-centered culture that drives both growth and long-term success.

1. Differentiate between vision and culture and understand why culture is the key to sustaining success.

2. Develop a leadership culture that prioritizes growth, development, and resilience over mere productivity.

3. Build a rubric for evaluating and enhancing culture, ensuring alignment between leadership behaviors and organizational values.

4. Measure success in relationships and team dynamics, fostering engagement, trust, and accountability.

5. Create systems for consistency that drive sustainable progress across all areas of the organization.

6. Manage and implement cultural change effectively, ensuring longterm adoption and impact.
