Is Your Company Culture a Catalyst for Change?
We all know the game of telephone, right? Messages get distorted as they travel, and the same happens in our workplaces. Especially when it comes to change.
Key Questions to Consider:
Does your company culture truly facilitate and empower change?
Can everyone, from leadership to frontline staff, embrace and drive new initiatives?
These are important questions to explore at every level of your organization. Remember, diverse perspectives are valuable, and it's okay if answers vary.
How to ensure your message of change is heard loud and clear:
Be a Broken Record: Repetition is key, especially for large or cross-functional initiatives.
Active Listening: Ask people to repeat what they heard. It's a great way to check for understanding and address any misinterpretations.
Open-Door Policy: Be available for those corridor conversations. Many people hesitate to speak up in meetings but still want to be heard.
Remember this: Fostering a culture of change starts with clear communication and genuine accessibility.
