The culture of our businesses is a topic that everyone seems to be fascinated by, but how can we make sure that we are accurately diagnosing the culture that’s already there so that we can influence it for the future? Certainly diagnosing our organisation's culture is key to influencing long-lasting change.

In this week’s episode, Lucinda discusses three models, including the “cultural web” concept, and how it may be necessary for you to also look at the style of the culture in our organisation in order to get the best results.

Key Takeaways
Certainly, culture often operates on a subliminal level. Therefore, we are not always aware of it, and yet it influences us greatly in all areas of life. This is what makes it so powerful.
Furthermore, the deepest levels of culture are the basic underlying assumptions. These are often invisible to us as they are so deep-rooted, but new starters and outsiders often pick up on them immediately.
A culture can be so ingrained that it can hold back our company’s plans for growth. As a result, the best leaders are the ones who recognise that stepping back can benefit the organisation.
Above all, to make a lasting change upon our culture, we need to look at the primary leadership embedding activities. Focus on the people as well as the product of our company.

 

Best Moments
‘Culture is the collective programming of the mind, distinguishing one group, or category, from another’
‘The function of leadership is the creation and management of culture’
‘They need to recognise that they’re the problem, and make that change or step away’
‘If you carry on reacting in the old way, you’re not going to effective in making a change’
