Check Your Culture
Article | Accountability Insights
Is your organization’s culture working for you or against you? In other words, is the culture of your organization facilitating or hindering your ability to achieve desired results? Answer the following five questions to find out:
| 1. | Is your current culture unable to produce the results you’ve promised? | |
| 2. | Will your current culture have difficulty delivering the results you need in the future? | |
| 3. | Are there actions your people need to stop doing because those actions just don’t get results? | |
| 4. | Are there actions your people need to start doing because those actions are needed to achieve your desired results? | |
| 5. | Are the right experiences, beliefs, and actions being hindered or impeded by your current culture? |
If you answered “yes” to three or more of the above questions, changing your organization’s culture is not an option, it’s an imperative! You should begin shifting the way your people think and act now, rather than later.
An organization’s culture determines its results, and the results an organization wants should determine its culture. You can build a company culture around any set of desired results: market dominance, sales growth, technological excellence, ease of customer interaction, best-in-class quality or stable earnings, just to name a few. Once your targeted results are clear, you should move quickly to create a culture that produces the necessary experiences, beliefs, and actions to achieve those results.
