"Not my job." In our work with a recent client, we heard that phrase more than once. At first we thought it was just one or two employees who were probably on their way out anyway. But as we dug deeper, we came to one clear conclusion: It wasn't a people problem, it was a culture problem. Over and over again, we heard stories of highly committed, motivated employees who were unwilling to reach across departments. The organization had developed a culture that prized department success over organization success. In this case, the only way to create collaboration across silos was to spend time working on re-igniting the organization's mission. By telling stories of how the organization had changed the lives of the people in their community, they could re-unite the departments, motivating them to work together to see the organization's mission accomplished. Next time you find yourself dealing with a difficult employee or pervasive attitude challenges, stop and ask yourself... "Do we need a culture check?" TurningWest consultants would be happy to talk through what a culture audit might look like and how it might be just the key to getting your organization back on track. #organizationculture #managementconsulting #notmyjob #organizationmission #organizationsilos

Maybe it wasn’t the person. We were recently hired by an organization to fix the many dysfunctions that were plaguing the Executive team. As we began taking a deep dive into what was going on, the Board decided they had enough and fired most of the top leadership. Feeling good that they had fixed the problem and could finally create a smooth-running, cohesive organization, they were more than surprised and frustrated to find their new Executive team began exhibiting the exact dysfunctions as those on the previous team. **It turns out, it wasn’t the individuals, it was the culture.** Organizational culture is hard to pin down, yet it influences every decision, every interaction, every thought, and every behavior that takes place in an organization. Trying to fix a person or reorganize an org chart is usually not enough to bring about lasting change. That is why TurningWest has chosen to operate using a culture lens. Before partnering with organizations on things like team development or strategic planning, we try and get a better understanding of the culture that surrounds those teams and strategies. Once cultural values and norms have been identified, we can help co-create a vision for a more positive culture and a more effective organization. #organizationdevelopment #orgculture #organizationalculture #organizationalaudit
