Culture Transformation
As you conduct management by walking around and encounter your team members, are you confident: the existing culture;
- Encourages people to bridge cultural differences and foster a culture for high-performing teams
- Makes people less biased and more inclusive
- Fosters trust and respect
People have unique cultural preferences in the same way they have a unique personality driven behavioral style. Engaging people effectively requires us to look beyond the external clues that we have used for so long to put people in cultural boxes. These boxes are at best superficial and in most cases dangerously inaccurate. Although nationality, ethnicity and race are important factors in identity and ways to discuss broader topics of diversity, they are not always the best starting point to connect! If we start with the premise that every human being has their own unique cultural preference and set of lenses, it results in a powerful shift in our interaction.
