Shift Culture – Finally! A book that showcases a system and recipe for getting sustainable culture shift to actually STICK.
Discover How You Can Engage Your People In The Required Change Journey and Deliver Business Results with a High Performance Team Culture…
Jack Welch is quoted as saying “When the external change exceeds the internal change, the end is in sight!” In a rapidly changing market place, transforming the organisation’s culture, and navigating your people through the required transformation may be the most import work leaders do – and critical to the long-term success of your business.
Technology continues to rapidly transform the way we connect, communicate and interact. Successful businesses also must transform rapidly. They must focus on the culture; given culture is a proven fundamental driver of operational and financial results.
Our global clients tell us their greatest challenge is getting ‘un-sticking’ teams and people stuck in the old ways. They are looking for a ‘results-based’ culture transformation process that created traction…fast!
“We have an engagement issue. Our people are not fully engaged”
The Stats Don’t Lie!
Three startling facts confirmed by a Katzenbach Centre 2013 survey of 2,200 participants across the world:
%
84% believe culture is critical to business success
%
60% think culture is more important than strategy or operating model
%
The most daunting fact: 51% thought a major overhaul is currently needed whilst only 35% felt their company’s culture is effectively managed!
But the real potent stats are those revealed in the business case which supports the argument for culture transformation initiatives:
- A Columbia University Study shows job turnover for an organisation with high company culture is a mere 13.9 percent;
- The Department of Economics at the University of Warwick found happy workers are 12 percent more productive than the average worker, and unhappy workers are 10 percent less productive; and
- Statistics from New Century Financial Corporation indicates companies with happy employees outperform the competition by 20 percent, earn 1.2-1.7 percent more than their peer firms, and are 2.1 percent above industry benchmarks; and
A 142-country Gallup report on the “State of the Global Workplace” shows that 63 percent of employees are not engaged at work and 24 percent are actively disengaged, leaving a mere 13 percent of workers who are engaged in the work that they do.
How Does Your Organisation Rate?
Doug Conant, of Campbell Soup fame, said “To win in the marketplace, you must first win in the workplace.”
Trends also tell us leaders are failing to engage their people. One in three employees are actively looking for employment elsewhere. The statistics are frightening: 60% of exit interviews confirm people don’t leave the organisation; they leave their one-up leader. People often say, ‘We have a shit culture around here.’ How do you feel about that? And how do you rate as a leader?
