Australia Day is a time when many of us celebrate being Australian, and some of us reflect on elements of our national culture, both positive and negative.<\/p>\n

\nI think we should also take the opportunity to do the same about our corporate cultures – both celebrate and reflect.<\/p>\n

Use this simple guide to give your organisation’s culture a check up.<\/p>\n

1. How would you describe the culture of your organisation?<\/strong>\u00a0In other words, how are things done around here?<\/p>\n

2. Does your organisation have a clear vision for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Who else other than owners and managers is aware of and understands the vision?<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. How do your people treat each other?<\/strong>\u00a0(staff, management, owners, customers, suppliers).<\/p>\n

5. Do your people care about the organisation<\/strong>\u00a0– do they turn up fully engaged or is it just a job to them?<\/p>\n

Now you have some important questions to deal with. What has this check up revealed to you about your organisation’s culture? What are you going to do to improve?<\/p>\n

The culture of an organisation is the leader’s responsibility, and it’s a big, heavy one. Let us know if we can help.<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p><\/div>\n
