Signs of a weak or poor culture

  • Low employee motivation

    Poor cultures leave employees exhausted. Employees are demotivated, unenthusiastic and not getting their work done. There are lots of absence days, complaints, conflicts and resignations.

  • Poor performance

    Poor cultures leads to poor performance. The organization fails to meet its targets, misses deadlines, receives terrible customer feedback and loses customers fast. There is slow to no progress on strategy implementation.

  • Lack of direction

    Weak cultures lead to a lack of direction and focus. Backstabbing, politics and conflicts are detracting from the company's focus and distracting employees from fulfilling the organization's purpose.

FAQ

  • How long will it take to work through this course?

    This course is extremely practical. You will be actively working in your own organization to change your own culture - this could take time and will depend on the amount of focus and energy you can devote to it. Everyone's organization will be different and will take a different amount of time to change. Other factors that will influence the speed of your culture change is the amount of buy-in you have from your team and other leaders in your organization. The more buy-in and support you have, the easier and quicker the change will be.
