The Insider's Guide to Culture Change

Creating a Workplace That Delivers, Grows, and Adapts

De: Siobhan McHale

Narrado por: Sarah Zimmerman

The secret to the success or failure of any business boils down to its culture.

From disengaged employees to underserved customers, business failures invariably stem from a culture problem. In The Insider’s Guide to Culture Change, acclaimed culture transformation expert and global executive Siobhan McHale shares her proven four-step process to demystifying culture transformation and starting down the path to positive change.

Many leaders and managers struggle to get a handle on exactly what culture is and how pervasive its impact is throughout an organization. Some try to change the culture by publishing a statement of core values but soon find that, aside from some short-term lip service, no meaningful change happens. Others try to unify the culture around a set of shared goals that satisfy shareholders but find their efforts backfire as stressed employees throw their hands up because "leadership just doesn’t get it." Others implement expensive new IT systems to try to bring about change, only to find that employees find "workarounds" and soon go back to their old ways.

Culture transformation expert Siobhan McHale defines culture simply: "It’s how things work around here."

The Insider’s Guide to Culture Change walks listeners through McHale’s four-step process to culture transformation, including how to:

• Understand what "corporate culture" really is and how it impacts every aspect of the way your organization operates
• Analyze where your culture is broken or not adding maximum value
• Unlock the power of reframing roles within your company, to empower and engage your employees
• Utilize proven methods and tools to break through deeply embedded patterns and change your company mind-set
• Keep the momentum going by consolidating gains and maintaining your foot on the change accelerator

With The Insider’s Guide to Culture Change, watch your employees go from followers to change leaders who drive an agile culture that constantly outperforms.

A must-read for executives, leaders and employees

In this fluid book that catches you until the end, the author brings together amazing insights and successful cases of company cultural transformation, which she followed closely or led herself along her career.
Siobhan's approach inspire us to think about workplace culture from another perspective.
She is undoubtedly a profound expert and exponent in change management and culture change.
I recommend this book for every leader and employee who cares about people - and everyone should.

Fills a gap in the field of Culture Implementation

Culture is a very critical but a complex topic.
The biggest challenge in this field to understand how the change really happening in real life, and even if it's possible.
I love this book because it shares real cases through very practical and valid framework.
If you are a business leader, culture consultant, HR professional or anyone interested in human behavior, this will be a great read.

A master piece of culture!!

Your collaborators go from empowerment to ownership: co-creating and driving the agile innovation ecosystem to build a high performance culture.

A must read for Change professionals.

As a change professional who could walk you through the change process and their models, this book was like sending me to a refresher course. I could not put it down. The case studies that are referenced throughout was presented more from a storyteller approach. She masterfully walk us through the door of the engagement/leadership meetings etc. We all talk of the Big C, but this books gives you a very good understanding of culture and the approach used in understanding culture.

I followed up with her for an in depth interview of my CEO Series show and she gave the guest so many takeaways and the feed back was phenomenal. I even got a request from a conference producer who hear her on the show and wanted her contact for a speaking opportunity.

My advice: BUY THE BOOK...you will not be disappointed.
