?? Focus of the Week: Unlocking Your Culture's Potential

Feeling stuck in a culture rut? You're not alone. Many organisations struggle to translate grand visions for a thriving workplace into a lived reality for their employees.

This week, we're exploring two crucial aspects of successful culture change: building strong foundations and empowering an often overlooked group of people - middle managers.?

Focus 1: Building a Thriving Culture

In my recent collaboration with Seramount, we explored the 4 essential levers for creating a workplace culture that fosters engagement, attracts top talent, and keeps them happy.

These levers aren't just buzzwords. To achieve sustainable change, it’s crucial to address all four levers: Mindsets, Abilities, Processes, and Structures.?

Be intentional about the culture you create, ensuring it sets the company and all its people up for success.?

Focus 2: The Power of Empowered Middle Managers

But even the strongest foundation needs the right support to hold it up. Enter the often-overlooked yet crucial role of middle management.

My latest report, "From Fragile to Flexible," examines the current state of middle managers. This group sits at a vital crossroads, bridging the gap between senior leadership and frontline teams.

Download the report to gain valuable insights into:

• The daily challenges faced by middle managers.
• The communication disconnect between leadership and frontline teams.
• The untapped potential of peer networks to support and empower middle managers.

By understanding the unique pressures faced by your middle managers, you can re-imagine how to support and empower them. This translates into a more engaged workforce, better communication, and, ultimately, a thriving culture.

Testimonial of the Week: “I’ve taken away so much from working with Lily. I learned to put myself first, developed allies, became politically savvy, and am now included in strategic leadership meetings. I was also promoted to senior management with a $40,000 increase in my base salary, an 8% bonus, and company stock! You are perfect for anyone who needs to learn to focus on their career, especially for minorities who don't know how to navigate the system. I am so glad I met you.”?
