Does Changing Company Culture Mean You Must Change Leadership

HR Bartender

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post about how individuals can change company culture. I later received a note on Twitter with a great question: A change in company culture = A change in leadership. You can’t change the leopard’s spots right?! . At first glance, I would say “yes.” We often talk about how senior management sets the tone of the organization.

How do employees answer the question, “Do you expect to still be here in a year?” Engagement also drives metrics including profitability, customer ratings, quality defects and safety incidents.

People ignore your email. More to the point, people are overwhelmed by email. How many times have you stopped by the desk of someone you know is a highly organized individual and observed that they have 5,000+ emails in their inbox?

How To Bring Love To The Workplace

TalentCulture

Thanks to our business heritage of industrialization, which gave birth to the practice of modern management, we’ve spent the last 100 years (or more) employing strategies designed to get more out of less. And we’ve been remarkably successful in this quest. But along the way, our workplaces lost their heart. The most costly result of our quest for efficiency has been that too many leaders have divorced productivity from the human beings doing the work.
