Leadership: Transform Your Business Culture
Organizational culture greatly impacts business results. As a senior leader, you need to understand how your leadership style impacts business performance and profitability. This program will help you become more self-aware, confident, and better equipped to achieve organizational success.
Have you considered how your actions and behaviors as a leader impact the kind of business culture you want to create? Or as one business icon put it recently, “Would you want to work for you?” In the first part of this program, you’ll think through your own leadership characteristics and how those characteristics influence the culture of your own business unit. Second, you’ll complete an Organizational Culture Inventory® to understand how your organization culture impacts business results. Together, this learning will help you align your leadership style and your culture with business performance and profitability.
This program uses Organizational Culture Inventory®, the most widely-used and thoroughly-researched tool for measuring organizational culture in the world.
