Can high performance come at too high a cost? Join us on "Culture is an Inside Job" as we investigate the phenomenon of the destructive hero within organizations. These individuals may excel in their roles, but their behavior often results in significant emotional and financial damage. Scott delves into his own experiences, offering insights on how to manage these complex characters with a blend of grace and truth. We'll explore their potential for redemption and discuss when it might be necessary to part ways for the organization's well-being.
Next, we explore the role of hope and the power of personal choice in our lives. As children, we're aware of the myriad of choices available to us, but as adults, we can become trapped in limiting patterns. By being honest about our beliefs and self-perceptions, we can bridge the gap between our current reality and our aspirations. Discover how embracing humility, truth, and self-awareness can lead to transformative decisions. We also highlight the importance of fostering a healthy organizational culture that rewards positive behaviors while addressing destructive actions.
Finally, we turn our attention to the pivotal role of organizational culture in driving vision and adapting to change. Reflecting on invaluable lessons from Anne Thompson at Aileron and personal experiences from McGill and Braebender, Scott underscores the importance of intentional culture maintenance. We'll discuss strategies for navigating change, dealing with naysayers, and using chaos to strengthen unity and purpose. As we wrap up, we invite you to share your feedback and preferences, helping us shape future episodes to better serve you. Tune in for a rich discussion on building a resilient, adaptive, and supportive organizational culture.Ask questions and share feedback with us: https://forms.gle/vSgt2aLgW6hGVTaP9
