‘‘The only thing of real importance that leaders do is to create and manage culture’’
So said Edgar Schein, management thinker and widely acknowledged rockstar of organisational culture. Schein went on to say …
“If you do not manage culture, it manages you.”
Culture may feel nebulous and woolly but it can be shaped, cultivated, and nurtured in highly practical ways. It’s a process, as they say, and that process starts with re-imagining the culture that will best support your vision, assessing your current culture in that context, deciding what behaviours to keep, shed, and build and putting supports in place to enable the desired behaviours to emerge and stick.
Easy? Not always. Do-able? Absolutely.
