Culture is the sum of the behaviors a group allows and repeats. Not the attitudes it holds. Not the mission statement on the wall. So, if you want to change a culture, stop asking how do we get people to believe something new. Start asking how do we get an entire team to actually do […]

The reason your people check every channel constantly – and get confused with who shared what and where – is not that they are distracted. It is that you have not defined the expectations for each channel they use. Think about what that costs. If a message could arrive by email, or chat, or text, […]

American companies spend more than $170 billion every year on leadership development. That number should inspire confidence.
