Get on a Southwest flight to anywhere, buy shoes from Zappos.com, pants from Nordstrom, groceries from Whole Foods, anything from Costco, a Starbucks espresso, or a Double-Double from In N' Out, and you'll get a taste of these brands’ vibrant cultures. Unfortunately, culture is often misunderstood and discounted as a touchy-feely, rather than a bottom line, a business component. That’s not the case.
As Peter Drucker, the founder of modern management said, “Culture eats strategy for lunch.” Culture is one of the most critical business drivers that has to be intentionally set and periodically adjusted to push for long-term, sustainable success. It's not good enough to have an amazing product and a healthy bank balance. The workplace culture can enable a company's success or be the key to its undoing.
What about your company’s culture? Does it inspire and engage or get in your people’s way, slowing and wearing them down? Is it driven by top-down directives or cross-department collaboration? What stories do your people and your customers tell about you? This webinar will show how you can get a good read on the health of your culture.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Corporate culture is a hot topic among businesses that want to attract the best talent, translate their values into their products and services, and show customers what they're all about. There are significant benefits that come from a vibrant and impactful culture. They are:
- Focus and Spirit: Aligns the entire company toward achieving its vision, mission, and goals
- Engagement: Builds higher employee motivation, productivity, and innovative problem solving
- Cohesion: Builds consistency and coordination among the company’s various departments and divisions
Also, culture often becomes the focus of attention during organizational change. Mergers and acquisitions, new systems implementations, and elaborate initiatives typically fail because organizations become caught in the so-called "jaws of culture” - when the existing culture becomes inappropriate and hinders rather than supports progress.
