What makes leadership and organisational change so important for businesses these days?
People make the difference. Show me a productive workplace and I’ll show you good quality leadership. Investing in leadership skills is the greatest single thing organisation can do to enhance productivity. In that sense quality leadership training is very cost effective.
What is Corporate Culture?
Corporate culture is in plain English: “The way we do things around here”. Workplace culture comes from the quality of the relationship between employer and employee.
How can Corporate Culture affect my organisation?
Positively or negatively. A positive culture will enhance productivity, retain good people, improve efficiencies and effectiveness. Corprate culture can be a competitive advantage. A negative culture will do the opposite. People can copy your products and services, even your processes, but it’s hard to copy culture. Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, goes so far as describing his company’s culture as their competitive advantage.
How does my organisation go about implementing the Corporate Culture Change Cycle (CCCC)?
This is a unque process designed to improve and enhance a corporate culture based on creating a new employment relationship. Click here for a breakdown of the CCCC process.
Where can we find more information about the new employee relationship?
I have written widely about this and given managers practical change management strategies to mold their organisation to reflect the new employment relationship model. My book: “The 8 Values of Highly Productive Companies: Creating Wealth from a New Employment Relationship” is a comprehensive roadmap for doing this.
How does WINNERS ATWORK go about fixing problems in corporate culture?
We start by surveying your current workplace culture and then benchmarking it against the New Employment Relationship. The next step is to create a project team which is a cross-functional representation of your organisation. This project team then further analyses the data and comes up with some practical strategies for making the shift from a traditional employment relationship to a new employment relationship.
