If the answer to these last two questions is “rarely,” it wouldn’t surprise us. We don’t believe that swift, wholesale culture change is possible — or even desirable. After all, a company’s culture is its basic personality, the essence of how its people interact and work. However, it is an elusively complex entity that survives and evolves mostly through gradual shifts in leadership, strategy, and other circumstances. We find the most useful definition is also the simplest: Culture is the self-sustaining pattern of behavior that determines how things are done. Made of instinctive, repetitive habits and emotional responses, culture can’t be copied or easily pinned down. Corporate cultures are constantly self-renewing and slowly evolving: What people feel, think, and believe is reflected and shaped by the way they go about their business. Formal efforts to change a culture (to replace it with something entirely new and different) seldom manage to get to the heart of what motivates people, what makes them tick. Strongly worded memos from on high are deleted within hours. You can plaster the walls with large banners proclaiming new values, but people will go about their days, right beneath those signs, continuing with the habits that are familiar and comfortable. But this inherent complexity shouldn’t deter leaders from trying to use culture as a lever. If you cannot simply replace the entire machine, work on realigning some of the more useful cogs. The name of the game is making use of what you cannot change by using some of the emotional forces within your current culture differently. Via The Learning Factor

Companies can tap their natural advantage when they focus on changing a few important behaviors, enlist informal leaders, and harness the power of employees’ emotions.

I believe in clarifying the desired behaviours. It sometimes also means spelling out the problems with the current assumptions, beliefs and values or thinking models. Sometimes rules are so obvious to people inside the organization they just apply them without stopping to think, whether they still make sense. At times senior employees cannot even notice their existence, and when you put them forward they notice not having ever questioned them - or just not thought there was another way.
Consultants or anybody coming from outside with an external view can help as they have seen other ways of doing things. They are more objective and realise how behaviors in same circumstances can be very different, depending on "the way things are done". After all, behaviour is a question of choice. Try making very tangible what "good" and new behavior looks like. Identify who you need changing and how. Make sure leaders show example to move into the new model. And identify those who adopt new culture, reward when they manage to do it, even a bit. And put forward first successes. |
