How to change organizational culture? This is interesting - about changing the culture of the workplace/business, but applicable to other venues as well. Click on link to see all the details (I've only summarized here).
- Become aware of the culture. Pay attention to shared values, the way people express themselves (particularly their language), and the stories they tell about their success and failures.
- Assess your current culture. Start by creating
three lists:
- What should stay?
- What should go?
- What is missing?
- Envision a new culture. Rather than simply complain about what is, begin to image what could be.
- Share the vision with everyone. Culture will not change unless you cast a vision for something new.
- Get alignment from your leadership team. Get buy in.
- Model the culture you want to create. The culture of a company is the behavior of its leaders. If you change their attitudes, their values, their beliefs, their behaviors, you will change your culture. If you don’t, you will fail.
