What if your organization wants to choose for a courageous culture?
This happens when you implement Excellent Leadership across all hierarchical levels within your organization. As we’re talking about a culture change, culture doesn’t change overnight:
- Expect the process to be a journey, not a destination
- Usually the first small changes are noticeable after a year
- Meaningful change usually starts showing after two years
- The real result some years later, typically four – five years
And to repeat: it’s a journey, not a destination. The idea is to constantly improve. This fits well with the design thinking perspective, with as point of departure: the solution to a complex issue cannot be thought out as a single up-front exercise. The best strategy is to think out the next best approximation of a solution, work that out, implement it, reflect on it, repeat.
The first phase of the journey can be structured to improve the chances for long term success:
- Start with the top-tier of your leadership. No-one in the lower tiers is going to change their behavior unless it matches what is happening above them. Board of directors and C-suite first!
- Six months later, take it a level lower. Repeat until leadership at all levels of the organization have been covered.
- Also give workfloor level employees the opportunity to follow the courses on Excellent Leadership. Not only for those aspiring to climb the corporate ladder, but to anyone who understands that leadership includes “personal leadership” – a way to increase one’s influence and improve relationships in all aspects of life, including personal relationships with partners, friends and family!
Depending on how deep your organization is in terms of hierarchy (put differently: relative to the span-of-control within your organization) this first phase is going to involve effort for a few years!
