Rules of Belonging

Viac o knihe

Culture defines the rules of belonging, and altering these rules can transform both culture and results. This engaging read offers practical advice for leaders and employees facing toxic work environments. Organizational culture, often misunderstood and overly complicated, can be simplified. By recognizing the current rules of belonging, one can assess the existing culture and articulate the desired culture through new rules that facilitate strategy execution. The topic has gained traction in Australia following the Royal Commission into financial services misconduct, and it is a global concern as regulators increasingly emphasize culture measurement and management, holding leaders accountable, even criminally. Many senior leaders struggle to measure and manage culture, often confusing it with employee engagement, which leads to misguided efforts that fail to achieve meaningful change. This frantic activity often results in superficial solutions rather than genuine culture transformation. Leaders across organizations face dysfunctional teams and need actionable strategies to improve culture, which will enhance their ability to implement changes and reduce time spent on conflict management. This book provides the guidance necessary for making impactful cultural shifts.
