Culture Crafters – Turning Around a Toxic Culture: Part 5 – Ongoing Monitoring and Continuous Improvement of Culture

Boeing is not the first company to find itself amid a massive scandal. You can think of Siemens’ bribery and corruption scandal, the VW emissions-testing scandal, the Wells Fargo fraudulent accounts scandal, or any other myriad of corporate scandals where culture failed and created a toxic culture. The question for any organization in such a situation is how to transform its culture.

In this special five-part podcast series, Sam Silverstein, the most trusted voice in America on accountability, and Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, look at the ways a company in the depths of such a situation can plan out and take concrete steps to turn around and rebuild its culture. In this concluding Part 5, we explore the dynamism of culture and why ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement are so critical for a true culture transformation.

Leaders must set a clear vision for a positive culture, emphasizing values such as excellence, safety, and community involvement, and stress the importance of proactive actions to foster a culture of excellence. However, even after assessing a culture, the culture transformation strategy, and the plan’s implementation, the culture transformation must be nurtured through ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement. Leaders must make culture a primary objective, consistently demonstrating core values while advocating for continuous culture monitoring and improvement. Both agree that cultivating a solid culture improves the organization’s bottom line, enhances the quality of products, and contributes to the betterment of communities.

Key Highlights:

  • Continuous Monitoring of Organizational Culture
  • Driving Cultural Change in Mergers Successfully
  • Culture is Dynamic

Culture Crafters – Turning Around a Toxic Culture: Part 3 – Assessing Culture

Boeing has recently seen one of the most public meltdowns over corporate culture. In 2024 alone, there have been multiple incidents, allegations, and reports about the company in the public arena. The company is under investigation by numerous governmental agencies. Several news organizations have reported a ‘toxic’ culture at the company, and there are ripples throughout the worldwide aviation industry. In such a situation, the question for any organization is how it thinks about turning around its culture. In this special five-part podcast series, Sam Silverstein, the most trusted voice in America on accountability, and Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, look at the ways a company in the depths of such a situation can plan out and take concrete steps to turn around and rebuild its culture. Part 3 is assessing your culture to develop a transformation strategy through The Culture Audit™.

The Culture Audit™ is a powerful tool for assessing an organization’s culture, providing a comprehensive analysis of its values, employee engagement, and accountability. It serves as a diagnostic tool, pinpointing strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Think of it as a health check-up for your organization, revealing insights into aspects of your workplace culture that may not be immediately apparent. The value of cultural assessments extends beyond regulatory compliance; they empower leaders to foster an environment where ethical decisions are second nature.

Silverstein emphasizes the essence of an action plan based on audit results to bring about desired improvements. Both Fox and Silverstein agree on the value of an external perspective in auditing and enhancing organizational culture. From The Culture Audit™, you can move to strategy design and implementation.

Key Highlights:

  • Culture Evaluation Through Comprehensive Cultural Audit
  • Truthful Insights through Anonymous Culture Assessment
  • Using Data to Design a Culture Transformation Strategy

Culture Crafters – Turning Around a Toxic Culture: Part 2 – The Role of Leadership in a Culture Transformation

Boeing has recently seen one of the most public meltdowns over corporate culture. In 2024 alone, there have been multiple incidents, allegations, and reports about the company in the public arena. The company is under investigation by numerous governmental agencies. Several news organizations have reported a ‘toxic’ culture at the company, and there are ripples throughout the worldwide aviation industry.

In this special five-part podcast series, Sam Silverstein, the most trusted voice in America on accountability, and Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, look at the ways a company in the depths of such a situation can plan out and take concrete steps to turn around and rebuild its culture. In Part 2, we consider the mandatory role of corporate leadership in a culture transformation.

The role of leadership in cultural transformation within organizations is a topic that holds great relevance in today’s corporate world. Experts like Tom Fox and Sam Silverstein widely agree that the success of an organization’s cultural transformation heavily relies on its leaders. Tom Fox, a renowned expert, opines that everything rises and falls on leadership, emphasizing that senior leaders are vital in setting the direction and maintaining the organization’s culture. His perspective is shaped by the belief in the importance of trust in the culture and the commitment of leaders to protect and defend the culture. Similarly, Sam Silverstein, another leading voice in the field, also believes in the crucial role of leadership in cultural transformation. Silverstein’s viewpoint is that senior leadership sets the tone for the organization’s culture, and their commitment to prioritizing and defending that culture is essential. He argues that genuine commitment to values such as quality, ethics, and valuing people will ultimately drive bottom-line results. Both Fox and Silverstein’s perspectives distinctly underline the importance of leadership in driving cultural transformation.

Key Highlights:

  • Transformative Influence: Senior Leaders Shaping Culture
  • Cultural Transformation by Strategic Board Leadership
  • Leadership Accountability in Fostering Organizational Culture
