Business Problems Solved Podcast Changing A Culture
In this episode of Business Problems Solved Lee discusses how to change a company’s culture by understanding what exactly what good culture is, what causes good or bad culture and the small changes you can make to people’s thoughts and behaviours within an organisation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It is far easier to change a small company’s culture than a big company’s, simply due to the fact that you need to change more people’s thoughts and behaviours.
- Understand what good culture looks like. Having a routine of good habits in a company is a great way to achieve a highly effective culture, stacking a combination of good habits will feed new habits which will, in turn, improve company standards.
- Understand where you are now. Try walking around your business to get a feel of how people act and behave when you’re not around, this will give you an insight as to where improvements can be made and which behaviours can be challenged.
- Understand the thinking that has driven the current state. Consider how your leadership style could be a direct reflection of the environment and current culture of the business, think about what you can change about yourself, develop a strategy to change the way of thinking.
