Leaders make profound contributions to the world by creating environments where people thrive so they can be the best that they can be. This can only happen in businesses with a culture of excellence. Over time, the ripple effect of culture-conscious leadership extends beyond the walls of the workplace culture and into the lives, families, and communities of all the employees, customers, and vendors. Despite the measurable returns on culture, however, many leaders don’t necessarily know how to create a great culture. Until now. Culture is our business.
Following the success of The Culture Fix™, Will Scott offers this fabled version that works through the step-by-step process of Culture Fulfillment™. In this story, Andy, our business coach and Actuator, goes into troubled Everco and transforms the company’s organizational performance, fortunes, and employee happiness. In just months, through a complete renovation, Everco’s culture is brought alive, made to thrive, and used to drive performance™.
Will Scott’s The Gift of Culture explains how the Culture Fix framework can be applied to embed values within an organization and therefore significantly improve its culture. Through a detailed case study, the book illustrates a very thoughtful process to culture transformation, aimed at both practitioners and potential clients.
Note: the book focuses primarily on creating a values framework and implementation system.
Complement with the Culture by Design by David Friedman, which takes the concept of values further into behaviors that provide a more reliable means to define and foster a workplace culture.
