Synopsis

Your organization's culture can feel like something that has a life of its own; it's long-standing, inherited, and seemingly impermeable—in fact, a strong culture is often an obstacle to doing new things or going in new directions. But leaders are the stewards of a company's culture and have the power to shape it. The best leaders know that organizational culture is a fundamental and powerful management tool that can drive positive outcomes.

We've combed through hundreds of articles in the Harvard Business Review archive and selected the most important ones to help you assess the type and current state of your company's culture, communicate change, do things differently, and anticipate and address implementation challenges.

This book will inspire you to: determine what type of culture you have, understand the psychology behind your company's social patterns, gather input on what needs to be fixed or initiated, communicate change, do things differently, and deal with implementation roadblocks.

Goodreads review by Ben on July 21, 2024

Never read one of these before. I can see how some people could eat up what this book has to offer. Not for me. It was a good insight into how some people view the world, and there were definitely some things learned, but for the most part it was skimming chapters. The first paragraph per chapter te......more

Useful. I wish I could use a lot of its tools right away but I’m not in a management position right now. However, I’m sure I’ll come back to it when I get the chance to make a profound change. Meanwhile, several of its ideas are great for a personal development......more
