Unrelenting Culture
Article | Accountability Insights
The culture of your organization is unrelenting in its production of your organization’s results. It’s really that simple, yet significant: culture produces results. If your organization is achieving the results it desires, then your organization enjoys an unrelenting 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 unrelenting culture needs to change. This is what we’ve learned over the past two decades working with thousands of organizations around the world: organizational culture is the primary determiner of organizational results, and organizational leaders are ultimately accountable for shaping organizational culture.
For better or for worse, your organization’s culture will always be relentlessly working for you or against you. Culture never sleeps, takes a holiday, goes on vacation, or calls in sick. Culture operates around the clock, irrespective of whether you acknowledge or appreciate it. That’s right, every organization has a culture that sends constant signals to its people on how to think and act at work. The crucial question is, Does your organization’s culture facilitate or hinder the achievement of desired results? Of course, if your organization’s culture is hindering or impeding the delivery of needed results, then you have no other choice than to eliminate the hindrances and impediments by changing your organization’s culture—if, that is, you want to achieve your organization’s desired results.
Our ongoing research related to organizational culture shows that over half of the leaders and managers surveyed consider their organizational culture to be a major impediment to the achievement of their desired organizational results.
