Most organizations are entering a rebuilding phase right now. I think we can all agree that “new normal” is a useless phrase, but the truth is, the organization you had in early 2020 is done. We’re not going back to that. We’re creating a new way of working together, finding new ways to meet customer/member needs, and designing new ways to grow. That’s what I mean by rebuilding.

Originally published by Jamie Notter here on Forbes.com ————- I rarely need to convince senior leadership that culture is worthy of their attention these days. Management teams recognize that a strong and effective culture is critical to retaining top talent and maximizing engagement. In short, it’s hard to compete when your employees hate working for you.

I feel like the default planning rubric in the association world is “last year plus 2%.” That’s not literal, of course—every association will pick its own growth targets each year for things like membership, attendance at the annual meeting, total sponsorship revenue, etc. But more often than not, the targets all end up in the category of “a little bit better than last year.

A few years later, in 2014, we were able to start a consulting business together, Culture That Works LLC (now branded Human Workplaces, obviously). And today—ten years after we embarked on this journey together—we are excited to announce a bold new trajectory for our work: Human Workplaces has been acquired by the Association Success Corporation.

I often quote a CEO colleague of mine who, when asked if culture is always driven from the top, pointed out that culture lives in everyone’s behavior, so the CEO can’t single handedly drive culture, but “The CEO can kill the culture in a heartbeat.” I think it’s true that we all look up the chain of command when evaluating the behaviors that define culture, and I imagine scenarios where an organization claims to want innovation, yet the CEO publicly reprimands a senior leader for taking a calcul

At the time, I was frustrated with the inconsistencies and flat-out hype that was being put out there about Millennials, and the other three generations in the workforce for that matter.

In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s a lot going on in this country right now, and that includes the huge spike in attention to racism and ongoing efforts to dismantle it. With that spike in attention, I’m also seeing at least an increase (if not an equally sharp spike) in organizations who want to work on “diversity,” though the term of choice these days is “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” or DEI.

This post first appeared on Forbes.com. When I ask leaders to describe the culture at their organization, the answers are typically high level, starting with the most generic descriptions, such as, “We have a strong culture here.” They may also use similarly vague but positive terms, such as “good,” “effective,” “excellent,” etc., all of which are nice but ultimately meaningless because they don’t give any sense of what is valued inside the culture.

Six months ago, we all made a rapid shift to remote work. Looking back on it, I’m actually quite impressed with how so many organizations turned on a dime and made it happen with relatively little disruption. I’ll be frank: I didn’t have “organizations will make a huge change rapidly and effectively” on my 2020 bingo card. Or any year, for that matter.

Most leaders I talk to are looking for growth. It doesn’t have to be exclusively financial in nature (though that’s almost always in the definition somewhere)—it can include things like impact on your stakeholders or operating environment, creation of new IP, market share, etc. But growth is king. Growth equals success. There only three scores on the growth scale: growing, flat, or declining.

A lot of us are sitting in a big pile of unknown right now. A year ago, it felt like we could project our lines out into the future with a relative sense of confidence, but not so today. Sometimes this leads to the “holding pattern” approach, where we focus on just keeping the plane in the air, without striking off in one particular direction. That might work for strategy right now, but it won’t work for culture.

I attended AssociationSuccess.org’s Surge virtual conference the other day, and got a gem of an idea from one of the sessions. My good friend Jeff De Cagna was facilitating a panel on failure in organizations (as a component of innovation), and he made the suggestion of doing a “pre-action review” meeting before any big project starts. This is kind of a mirror image of the more well-known “after-action review” meeting where you analyze what worked well and what didn’t.

The sudden shift to remote work wasn’t quite as disruptive as they thought it might be, and they’re taking a hit on revenue, but thankfully it’s not a death blow. They still have the eventual (and not quite clear) return to the workplace ahead of them, but all in all, it seems like the scariest part of this crisis may be behind them.

In terms of adjusting to remote work, most of us are moving from stage one to stage two: from “triage” to “transition.” We have our home office set up, maybe boosted our bandwidth a bit, and we don’t make that important point in the zoom meeting while remaining on mute. Okay, we don’t do that every time, at least. That’s the triage part—making sure things work.

When everyone shifted to remote work, I predicted that internal conflict would be on the rise. It’s a natural result of people communicating less, and, as one HR friend of mine reported, the “prickly” people seemed to be getting even “pricklier” after everyone went remote. Conflict resolution, of course, is my original background, and I thought—given what’s happening now, this would be a great time for people to get trained in how to have better conflict conversations.

While we don’t know exactly what the “new normal” is going to look like, we do know it’s going to require some significant shifts in how we do things, possibly including more employees going remote permanently, significant reconfiguration of office space (more on that in a future paper), and changing some of our core mana

We’re all feeling it - the sudden shift to mostly remote work can cause some friction in your culture. That is, the way you did things in your organization when everyone was in the office may not work as well (or at least not work as planned) now that everyone is doing their work from home and in different locations. Results will eventually start to suffer, conflicts and miscommunications will arise, and/or progress will slow because of it.

Fairly soon, however, we’re going to move into transition.

Thanks to the pandemic, of course, that’s not happening this spring. One by one, the meetings were cancelled or postponed (8 for me so far), and one of the upsides of this business disruption is that I suddenly had several multiple-day stretches of unscheduled, unstructured time (which never happens).

There had been a specific incident that prompted the organization to seek out the coaching for the leader, but interestingly, the real value of the coaching process was not in looking back at the events that had already transpired. The more exciting work was around deeper dives into specific work-related conflicts or issues that emerged during the coaching process itself.
