Five Key Pieces – Plus One – to the Culture Puzzle

If your parking lot is filled with cars backed into their spaces so employees can get away from their job as fast as possible–do you think you culture needs a checkup? Gallup Q12 surveys show that two out of three employees are disengaged to some degree–loudly proclaiming that culture is an essential component to business success. In Five Key Pieces – Plus One – to the Culture Puzzle, George Saiz looks at this dynamic area from a different perspective.

He asks, “How competitive are we if our approach to leadership is equivalent to placing an order at Burger King, essentially everyone doing it ‘my way?’ What message does that send to our employees and how will they react? And if you do have a set of company values, how do you get them out of their wall frames or off your website and into the everyday activities of your business?”

He’ll help you answer these questions and find a starting point to begin developing your cultural plan. You’ll discover the importance of both leadership and employee buy-in and navigate the land mines that await you.

Like his business novel We Started with Respect, this presentation is filled with real life examples and many of the best practices he’s been privileged to see. Through all this, you’ll be challenged to become the leader you’ve always wanted to work for. Lastly, you’ll learn that people are not the greatest asset of your business – they are . . .

Set up a meeting to hear the rest of that story!
