Only 15% of companies that try to make a culture change are successful. Yet culture, according to Satya Nadella at Microsoft, is the biggest predictor of future success. The main reason that culture change rarely ever works is because it’s really, really hard to change. That’s why if you’re trying to change your culture, you’ll want to read Kevin Oakes’ book, “Culture Renovation: 18 Leadership Actions to Build an Unshakable Company.”
In today’s episode we interview Phil Simon, author of Reimagining Collaboration: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and the Post-COVID World of Work. Phil shares with us his insights on increasing collaboration and teamwork on a hybrid team.
While many leaders are focused on how to go back to the office, Phil cautions that instead of focusing on when or how to go back, we should instead focus on how best to collaborate.Â
The best remote companies build organizational culture in phenomenal ways. In this episode, we interviewed Brett Putter, CEO of Culture Gene and Culture expert. Brett shares with us details into his research of 50 CEOs with top top performing remote and hybrid cultures. These top 50 CEOs were selected out of 500 (the top 10%) because of their unique ability to create a strong culture.
These CEO’s described with extreme clarity not only their mission and vision, but they could clearly define their culture and are actively recruiting new employees for a culture fit. These CEO’s were also able to explain how their leadership team had a framework for making decisions based on organizational culture. The leadership teams had also embedded this framework into their processes.
