Interesting short article on the need to work on your culture. First, I loved the quote " Like panning for gold, a crisis filters out the dirt and leaves you with what’s important."
Second, the author infers we should be measuring the success of our culture, but the author doesn't mention what metric, how do we measure it beyond employee surveys?
My thought is that most companies have a fairly dysfunctional culture tied directly to the CEOs behavior. I would recommend listing all the things you aspire to be as an organization - mission, purpose, values. Who do you want to be?
The next step would be to create action plans to move your culture in that direction. Almost all the companies I work with DO NOT have cultural improvement programs in place. Their hope is that next year is better than this year. Are you willing to accept that mediocre definition of culture improvement?
