Creating a Culture That Works
Do you think about the culture operating in your organization? Unless you’re employed in a human resource capacity, the answer is probably “no” according to Chris Edmonds and Bob Glaser, Senior Consulting Partners with The Ken Blanchard Companies. In Edmonds’ and Glaser’s experience, culture is usually poorly understood in most organizations even though it is a key factor that impacts employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall employee productivity.
Considering the importance of a supportive and aligned culture, why is it under the radar for most senior executives?
Part of the reason is that culture is hard to define in most organizations. It operates in the background, doesn’t get noticed much, and so it continues to grind away behind the scenes while other aspects of corporate performance that are easier to measure like goals, tasks, and results, preoccupy leadership discussions and strategy sessions.
