It’s all about him.
Kevin only cares about what furthers his career; makes him look good to his boss.
He doesn’t give a hoot about your work—how engaged team members are, the career paths you set up for them, when they need a mental health day.
That’s why he fired the last three people who asked for time off, giving you migraines because he didn’t document anything or follow procedure.
Kevin is the reason the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) survey finds that 54% of employees resign. And two-thirds of those remaining who still work around Kevin are seriously considering leaving.
Who hired Kevin anyway?
Oh.

counts people because every person matters.
counts productivity because performance matters.
counts profits because money matters.

So how are you supposed to create a culture that counts out of Kevin Culture?
After all, you’re responsible for resourcing these humans, right?
The better question is: What CAN you do?
But is there ever enough holy water or garlic to eradicate Kevin Culture and his Eeyore Vampire minions?
A lot of good that’ll do.
You’ll just leave the culture worse off than you found it. Team members who hoped you’d be the one to make a positive difference, to transform the culture into one that counts, will just shake their heads. “There goes another one,” they’ll say.
How do you look yourself in the eye the morning after knowing you walked away and Kevin won?
Besides, The Great Resignation just leads to The Great Regret.
You’ll just have to deal with Kevin Culture again in the next company.
So what CAN you do?

I’m Dr. Joey Faucette, culture architect and coach, best-selling author, and creator of The 7 Keys to Work Positive Coaching Program.
I know Kevin personally.
I worked for him early in my career. Yea, it sucked, but I didn’t know how to make culture count. I thought I was at Kevin’s mercy. I had to work to support my family and there was no clear-cut path to follow.
I needed a blueprint, a proven method of transforming Kevin Culture into a positive work culture that attracts top talent and reduces team turnover. A positive work culture that increases productivity and profits. A culture that counts.
I needed someone like you to help me, to coach me.
That company didn’t have a person like you who wants to make culture count.
Culture that I did the only thing I could think of.
I resigned.
I decided that wandering around in the work wilderness had to be better than working with Kevin.
So I wandered for a while and achieved some success until The Great Recession hit.
Remember that?
It was awful. It felt like Kevin Culture had won.
Then I remembered something Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said:
“Within every adversity lies the seeds of opportunity.”
This quote became my mantra.
I refused to let Kevin win. I looked for the opportunity in every adversity. I knew that culture had to count for good. I planted seeds.
That’s when I discovered The Great Depression Gurus—leaders who stood down their Kevins and did something amazing: they created positive work cultures that increased productivity and profits in the worst economic conditions ever known. Gurus like Dale Carnegie, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, and a host of others who made culture count.
So I did.
counts people because every person matters.
counts productivity because performance matters.
counts profits because money matters.
Since then, I’m on a mission to empower all people everywhere to transform
Kevin Culture and lead companies to create positive work cultures which increase productivity and profits.
