There are only a few reasons you would look for an executive coach, which one brought you here? 👉 You want to invest in your personal development. 👉 Dysfunctional management team. 👉 Organizational culture deteriorating. 👉 Your vision or change program isn't gaining traction. 👉 You've had a "come to Jesus" moment and realized something has to change. 👉 All hell has broken loose and you need to get things moving Pronto! Instead of listing how awesome I am, which is undeniably true, how about I provide some value. Let's take a quick look at one of the concerns above that might have brought you here. 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Your organizational culture is your internal brand and you need to exhaust every resource to keep it healthy. I've helped several companies energize, engage, and empower their employees using the steps outlined below. Usually, when I arrive, things are bad and getting worse, culturally speaking. After we assess the situation and create alignment among the key stakeholders, we take deliberate actions to reverse the negative trend. Here are a few universal suggestions that can help you until I arrive. 𝟭. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Once you can see the problem, understand it's worse than you think. Burying your head in the sand won't work, neither will a half-hearted effort with minimal buy-in. You have to take immediate and intentional steps to reorient the culture. Without real buy-in from management at all levels, any cultural remediation program will at best fail, and at worst, accelerate the descent into madness. 𝟮. 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 One leadership team member, at a former client, was asked about upcoming changes and replied that she "didn't know" the answers. This wasn't true and her staff knew it wasn't true. This "white lie" undermined her credibility and only made things worse. I encouraged her, as I'm encouraging you, to tell people what they can know, and in other matters, tell them that the answers aren't finalized yet. 𝟯. 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 When your culture is on the skids, management often isn't talking about it. But do you know who is? Everybody else. Address the elephant in the room. Ask for suggestions. The act on those suggestions. These are just the first things I do when I'm engaged to shift an organization's culture.
