Your culture produces your results. If you need a change in results, then you need a change in culture. Your culture is always working, either for you or against you. To accelerate a change in the culture, start by defining the new results you wish to achieve. Everyone in the organization needs to be focused on and aligned with the desired new outcomes. Culture changes one person at a time.
Your people must believe that these new results are obtainable. Only then can they change their thinking and actions — something that usually happens when they can verbalize their job descriptions in terms of how they contribute to successful outcomes.
When everyone buys into creating new results, you are accelerating the necessary cultural transition. It doesn’t happen easily. It requires dialogue, engagement, debate and leadership.
Does your organization provide coaching for leaders who need to change the culture? Are you working in a professional services firm or other organization where coaches provide leadership development to grow emotionally intelligent leaders?
Enlightened leaders tap into their emotional intelligence and social intelligence skills to create a high performance culture.
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is “Do I believe corporate culture produces desired results?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide coaching as part of their peak performance leadership development program.
Working with a seasoned coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-I, CPI 260 and Denison Culture Survey can help you create a culture where all employees are fully engaged. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become fully engaged with the vision, mission and strategy of your company or law firm.
