18. A Tale of Two Workplace Cultures: Why Culture IS the Strategy
Description
In this episode, host Corina Walsh, takes listeners on a dive deep into the heart of workplace culture and its pivotal role in an organization's success. The famous saying that "culture eats strategy for breakfast" gets a fresh perspective as Corina argues that culture is not just an accompaniment to strategy but is, in fact, the strategy itself.
Corina shares two distinct encounters she had with companies during her recent vacation, illustrating how workplace culture can be the defining factor in a company's success or struggles. This episode will inspire managers and companies to take a closer look at their own company culture and ensure it aligns with company goals and values.
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Why it is essential to embody and demonstrate values daily to succeed and stand out in today's competitive business landscape.
- The vital connection between the employee experience and the customer experience, and the role of workplace culture in fostering success.
- How to make values a daily reality rather than wall decor.
- What really drives workplace culture – is it top-down or bottom-up?
- How to diagnose and repair workplace culture, based on Gallup's research, and Corina’s experience.
- Practical strategies for building and maintaining a thriving workplace culture, including continuous evaluation, action-oriented values, leadership alignment, and regular culture audits.
