Planned organizational culture change for leaders, managers and more.
“In the end, management doesn’t change culture; management invites the
workforce itself to change the culture.” Lou Gerstner, former IBM CEO.
Change is running us ragged. We can no longer depend on lessons from the past or expectations of the future to make our organizations succeed - we need a different way, one that’s more inclusive of its people and as a result more productive and innovative.
Changing your culture starts with how you think. LeaderSHIFT© (formerly The Leadership Practicum) makes change possible. We start with a group of up to 30 people and engage them in creating necessary change in very different ways. As understanding and relationships expand, productivity, innovation and quality improve. Chaos falls away. Imagine what happens to profit!
LeaderSHIFT© is a unique learning lab. We use experiential exercises, small group discussions, feedback, storytelling, journaling and more. You learn how to talk openly about conflict so that relationships develop and trust improves. Perception expands. Next steps show up. You learn to collaborate and agree on what really needs to change. Courage increases to speak your truth, to define what really interferes with progress, to interact differently, to define success and to measure human performance in completely different and more meaningful ways! The results – Clearer decisions are made. Productivity soars. Whole teams move forward. Others watch and want to follow.
We use a non-traditional model for ‘Planed Organizational Culture Change’ that:
- Saves time and money by building relationships. Improves trust and collaboration.
- Teaches formal and informal leaders to use out-of-the box thinking and behaviour.
- Develop individual leadership and team functioning that others want to follow.
- Offers an unusual and powerful organizational change process, one that’s seldom used.
LeaderSHIFT© is unique because:
- It’s a flexible, constantly changing process that builds sustainability.
- Evidence of change shows up and is consistent after the very first session.
- Each step positively impacts productivity, profit, commitment and more.
- Leaders and managers together learn to create a high functioning culture.
- The focus shifts from ‘problem solving’ to ‘visioning’ so you can continually create the future of your organization.
- Participants learn to use four simple, not easy, steps to resolve long standing company problems and challenges.
- The workplace becomes a field of practice where participants learn to create a more highly productive and innovative environment.
As trust increases among individuals and their teams, authenticity, inspiration, confidence, decision making and collaboration begin to expand throughout your organization.
LeaderSHIFT© has been used in Fortune 500 companies, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, telecommunication and health care. It has the potential to transform many organizations including the federal government. ‘Inspired’ subject matter experts, managers and other real human beings working together on planned organizational change, make the ‘right’ changes happen.
