Change

Culture can be the multiplier to either success or failure for organizations. As we've seen in my earlier article, a toxic culture might cause productivity to decrease by 40% while a positive culture might boost performance with at least 20% - but probably more (estimate based on research and my client work).

So you think you can change? If your culture needs to change or to improve the place to start is where you are: in current culture. What is the way we do things around here? Understanding the behaviors, but also deeper beliefs and values is essential before you start any change.

What is normal in your current organizational culture? The students of the Positive Culture Academy came up with a long list of examples. Do you recognize any of these situations below?

Seventeen consultants and leaders from four continents spent three days together in a countryside venue on a riverbank. The May 2018 Culture Change Leadership Workshop was intense. The topics: organizational culture, organizational change, the Competing Values Framework and the OCAI, positive leadership, positive culture, change circles, and interaction interventions.

Do you or your clients need their organizations to be more innovative, agile, productive, and engaging? Then helping them develop a more positive culture is something to seriously consider.
