Warning Signs For Culture Change

Today’s primary leadership challenge has become facilitating and accelerating organizational culture change in ways that quickly and effectively generate improvements in business results. When it comes to organizational culture, change not only means getting everyone in the organization to think and act differently, it also means getting them to think and act in ways that produce timely and necessary results. So, we’re asking the invaluable question once again: how do you know whether you need to change your organizational culture? Here are three warning signs that you need to change your culture, now!

• Your organization (or team) is not delivering the needed or desired results.

• Your people are not performing at 8 or above on a scale of 1-10, when it comes to engagement and energy.

• Your most pesky problems and irritating issues continue to go unresolved.

Any one of these warning signs suggests a need for culture change. Fittingly, culture change has become a way of life in today’s organizations because change so thoroughly permeates the business environment. Managing your culture so that it produces the results you are looking for has become an essential role of leadership and a core management competency. Neglect it at your peril.
