Mission OR Adventure #23: Not Everything Needs a Strategy—But Culture Does (And ignoring it is costing you more than you think.) 〰️

Mission OR Adventure is your weekly guide to mastering business as usual while embracing bold innovation—helping you balance what works with what’s next, so you know when to leap or lead. With just a little bit of sparkle thrown in…

From Amanda’s Desk

Let’s cut to it.

You don’t need another templated triangle, branded buzzword, or leadership flowchart.

You need a backbone.

One that actually shows up — when the vibe’s off, the bar’s dropping, or everyone’s going silent in the team Slack.

Because real leadership?

It’s not polished.

It’s practised — in messy moments, eye-roll convos, and gut-check decisions.

🧃 Juicy Truth: Culture Doesn’t Need a Deck. It Needs a Spine.

Here’s what that looks like IRL:

🚩 “Hold up — this isn’t the standard we set.”

👀 “Let’s not normalise that tone. Feels off.”

🛠 “Before we ship it — does this still feel like us?”

That’s not drama. That’s direction.

Because when you hold the line with heart?

You don’t just fix things — you teach what good looks like.

🎯 What Happens Next?

You stop firefighting. Your team starts checking themselves. And suddenly… the culture starts to run itself.

That’s the magic of backbone, baby.

Quiet power. Big ripple.

🛠 This Week’s Power Play

Pick one place you’ve let slide. Not from laziness — from busyness.

Reset it. Reclaim it. Re-spark it.

Because the vibe you walk past? That’s the new standard. And we don’t do meh.
