Description

Every organization, team, and family have its own unique culture. Additionally, everyone within each business, team, and family has their own definition for what the culture is or should be. We will review several types of culture, what makes each type work, what can destroy them, and how to shift and shape your actions to transform the culture. Learn how to shift the culture without demanding major changes in the individuals, how to reduce resistance to change, and create a culture with low fear and high confidence - which translates into higher levels of productivity, profitability, and lower turnover. The best employees actively seek out organizations with the best cultures. Culture matters.
