There is tremendous pressure on all organizations to create a culture that is responsive to the changes that are
required to be successful in the 21st century. It is clear that creating a culture of sustained change necessitates
involvement of leaders, managers, and employees who perform the mission and work of the organization. Researchers
and thought-leaders of organizational change management have witnessed and documented the common traps that prevent successful
organization transformation. Among the difficulties identified are the following; allowing complacency, not identifying
a guiding leadership coalition, underestimating the power of a unified and compelling vision, under-communicating the vision,
letting obstacles get in the way, ignoring short-term wins, declaring victory prematurely, and not anchoring the changes into
the organizations culture. Once the organization is committed to transforming the culture,
and has identified individuals who can lead the change, it must then set its focus on naming the desired leadership attitudes
and behaviors that are necessary to sustain the culture. Compelling questions to ask are "What is our desired state?"
and "What will it look like and feel like to be there?. More importantly, the answers to these questions will shape the
culture that the organization is striving to create. L-Squared Integration is committed to
helping organizations gain business clarity by facilitating processes that lead to a compelling vision, direction,
and plan that will guide the organization towards the future. We then provide team and individual leadership development
that allow leaders, managers and employees to focus the attitudes, behaviors, and performance around goals and objectives
required to reach that vision. Organizations will be successful by realizing positive results. |
