One of the fourteen practice areas at Partners In Leadership is Accelerating Culture Change. In this practice area we help clients realize that their organizational cultures are producing their organizational results. Yes, it is just that basic and simple: culture produces results. If your organization is achieving the results it desires, then your organization enjoys a strong culture that produces what it wants and needs. If, on the other hand, your organization is not achieving the results it desires, then your organization’s culture needs to change. Organizational culture is the primary determiner of organizational results, and organizational leaders are ultimately accountable for shaping organizational culture.

Every organization has a culture that is sending signals to its people on how to think and act on a daily basis. Culture never takes a holiday, goes on vacation, or calls in sick. Culture is working around the clock, regardless of whether you know it or like it. The question is never, “Does your organization have a culture?” All organizations have cultures. The question is always, “Does your organization’s culture facilitate or hinder the achievement of desired results?” Clearly, if your organization’s culture is hindering the delivery of needed results, then you have no choice other than eliminating the hindrances by changing your organization’s culture.

Our research shows that over half of those surveyed consider their organizational cultures to be a major impediment to the achievement of desired organizational results. To learn more about how Partners In Leadership’s culture change models and culture management tools accelerate culture change and produce game-changing results, we invite you to join the Accountability Community at www.partnersinleadership.com, where you can review actual client case studies that illustrate the impact of culture change on organizational results.
