Understanding your culture will help you get things done
I’d like to encourage you to think about your culture, because understanding organizational culture will help you get things done.
Whether you're doing any work on change, projects, strategy execution or digital transformation, you will get things done faster and more successfully by observing your culture.?In other words, what behaviours are rewarded within the workplace?
To understand your culture, you need to be able to describe it precisely.??If you were to describe your culture in one sentence, what are the most specific words you can use to describe the behaviours that you see?
?? Please don't say it's a great culture.
?? Please don't say it's a positive culture.
You can do better than this. And armed with an understanding of the predominant behaviours, you can get things you want done, with integrity and precision.?

1 年As Molly said, "Culture is a secret sauce for success". But I find that people talk about it in a vague way - it's like talking about fresh air. We all need it or we die, but we don't know how it works.
