INTRODUCTION
Companies
can
tap
their
natural advantage when they
focus on changing a few
important
behaviors,
enlist
informal leaders, and harness
the
power
of
employees
emotions.
Definition
Culture is the self-sustaining
pattern
of
behavior
that
determines how things are done.
your
current
cultural situation
just is what it is
and it contains
components that
provide
natural
advantages
to
companies as well
as
components
that may act as
brakes.
It is a commonly held
view
that
behavioral
change follows mental
shifts, as surely as night
follows day.
This is why organizations
often try to change mindsets
(and
ultimately
behavior)
by
communicating
values
and putting them in
glossy brochures.
Conventional
wisdom advocates
a comprehensive
approach
everybody should
change everything
thats not perfect!
But
companies
must be rigorously
selective when it
comes to picking
behaviors.
Authority, which is
conferred by a formal
position, should not
be
confused
with
leadership.
Leadership
is
a
natural
attribute,
exercised
and
displayed informally
without regard to title
or position in the
organizational chart.
Early adoptersenthusiastically
latch onto and experiment with new
technologies, processes, and ways of
working.
Involve them in your performance pilots,
or whenever you are trying to
demonstrate impact quickly.
Ideas
can
spread
virally
across
organizational
departments
and
functions, as well as
from the top down and
from the bottom up.
One powerful way to
spread
ideas
is
through social media:
blogs, Facebook or
LinkedIn posts, and
tweets
Weve emphasized
the
role
that
informal
leaders
can play in helping
ideas go viral.
But
its
also
important
to
match the new
cultural direction
with existing ways
of doing business.
Companies that
have had great
success
workingwith
culture we call
them
culture
superstars
actively monitor,
manage,
care
for, and update
Theres no better
time than the
present to start.
