Your Organizations Culture: If You Dont Get It Right,Nothing Else Matter

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Fly Southwest, shop at Zappos, Nordstrom, Whole Foods or Costco, or grab a Starbucks espresso or an In-N-Out Double-Double, and you get a taste of each brand's culture. Yet organizational culture is often dismissed as touchy-feely rather than treated as a bottom-line business driver.

Peter Drucker put it simply: "Culture eats strategy for lunch." A great product and a healthy bank balance aren't enough. Culture must be set on purpose and adjusted over time, because it can drive a company's success or cause its undoing.

This 60-minute webinar helps you get a good read on your own culture. Does it inspire people or wear them down? Is it run by top-down directives or cross-department collaboration? What stories do employees and customers tell about you?

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

A strong culture helps attract top talent and brings three benefits: focus and spirit that align everyone with the vision and goals, engagement that lifts motivation and innovation, and cohesion across departments. Culture matters most during change, when mergers, new systems and big initiatives fail because the existing culture blocks progress.

The session suits executives, boards, HR leaders, directors, managers, supervisors and team leaders.
