Purpose
Do you and your team feel part of a tribe? Are you engaged and motivated in what you do? Do you feel you belong? And how did you come through the last year of knockbacks? Challenged? Scathed? Fragile? Stressed? All of these things impact on company culture, and in turn, company culture impacts on your brand, customer experience, staff engagement, managerial effectiveness, productivity and profit. Do it right and all of these things improve.
Get Tribal is a powerful, interactive Workout on the 10 biggest mistakes organisations make with their organisational culture and what can be done to address them. Drawing on his vast experience as a corporate anthropologist and his study and insights into traditional tribal culture, Michael Henderson will provide you with a simple and powerful perspective of culture that will help you make significant shifts in your organisation.
It introduces the three key elements required of any organisation to be sure its culture aligns itself with its business. Far too many business people have vast amounts of knowledge training and experience in developing and running a business and precious little of how to work most effectively with culture. This Knowledge Workout will challenge organisational approaches to HR, engagement, leadership development and even merger acquisition. If you are involved with change management or a people manager of any description, this is one Workout you won’t want to miss.
