An organization’s culture shows through in the conversations. Improving the quality of conversations can create cascading culture change and better business outcomes.
You’ve got a strong strategy and talented people. But if you’re not seeing results, then you don’t have a business problem, you have a culture problem. And that’s bad for your bottom line.
It’s easy to revise an org chart. But changing mindsets and behaviors — in other words, transforming organizational culture — is much tougher.
Culture isn’t an accident. It’s forged collectively and must be shaped intentionally. But changing organizational culture means scaling human behavior change, and that’s a complex process.
Culture is what makes strategy happen. That’s why your organizational culture should be carefully aligned to support your business strategy.
And when the strategy changes, organizational culture transformation must happen, too. Because in the end, it’s not about what culture you want, it’s about what culture your strategy demands.
You can propel a transformation through organizational culture and leadership. We know, because we’ve been helping clients strengthen and align their cultures for over 50 years.

Articulating & Enhancing a Corporate Culture
Cultivating an effective organizational culture is vital because it helps align teams and supports the company’s unique business strategy. If organizational culture and leadership aren’t on the same page, people are at risk of operating on outdated mindsets, beliefs, and behaviors, which can affect everyone — from C-suite executives to frontline workers.
At a high level, cultural norms can permeate an organization and lead to good or bad outcomes. For example, if a company’s leaders micromanage, other team members may adopt the same approach with their direct reports.
On the other hand, if leaders create a collaborative organizational culture that favors candid conversations, active listening, and constructive feedback, other employees are more likely to adopt the same attitudes.
Simply put, organizational culture and leadership are closely tied and influence each other in more ways than one. To evaluate and ignite organizational culture transformation, it’s important to define a clear landscape for success; use connected, aligned leadership; and transition to a strong, sustainable culture. Once these actions are taken, changing organizational culture for the better can finally happen.

The question is: Do you have the culture your strategy demands?
It all starts with awareness. An organization — much like the people that comprise it — can’t change unless its leaders recognize the need. How mature is your organization’s leadership culture?
And for your organizational culture and leadership strategies to make a real impact, you have to intentionally build capabilities for new ways of working.
Consider how daily conversations affect your organizational culture. Are people able to break through internal barriers, bridge silos, and successfully collaborate across boundaries?
