Culture is like a tree.  It takes years to cultivate and grow and yet it can be chopped down in a minute.  Protect your culture.  – Jon Gordon

Our culture is based on trust.  It is built over time, through experiences, and it can be lost in a moment.

We must actively protect our culture.  We can’t permit anyone to threaten the culture we strive to build and maintain.  It is up to all of us . . . we can’t let our guard down.  We must stand-up for the culture we demand.  We must confront those who undermine our culture – call them out.

Our culture, our values, are the core of who we are.  Cultivate our culture and protect what we’ve built.
