🎯 The Candy Rock Effect: What’s Running Through Your Business? If you’ve ever had a stick of Blackpool rock 🍬, you’ll know that no matter where you cut it, the word “Blackpool” runs all the way through. That’s the perfect metaphor for a strong business culture. We call it "the candy rock effect" – when your organisation’s values and culture are so deeply ingrained that they’re evident in everything you do. From how your leadership operates, to how your team collaborates, to the way you serve your customers, your core message is always consistent. Why does it matter? Because a strong, lived culture: ✅ Builds trust – internally and externally. ✅ Aligns decision-making with core principles. ✅ Creates a sense of belonging and purpose for employees. If your organisation were "cut in half," what would be running through it? Are your values and culture showing up in actions, or are they just words on a poster? 💬 Let’s hear your thoughts: What values define your business, and how do you bring them to life every day?
