Making Culture Pay: The Hard Side of Culture? PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Henderson   

Many people have come to believe that workplace culture is just a lot of philosophy and conjecture about the importance of workplace culture.  In my 30+ years of leadership, I have been called on more than a dozen times to take over broken organizations with only ten associates to divisions with over 3,000 people.  The ultimate success of these organizations has proven that great organizations and their bottom-line performance really is about building and sustaining high performance workplace cultures.

Path to Workplace Culture Effectiveness PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Henderson   

With over three decades of leadership experience, I’ve learned a few things about workplace culture, and I’d like to share some of them with you today.

There are common characteristics within organizations that perform at very high levels, characteristics that are often missing in lower performing enterprises. I call them “cultural elements.”

Values Help Define an Organization PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Henderson   

Because the essential goal of having values in the first place is to help us clearly understand what is expected of us, Organizational Valuesvalues help define the structure in which we work together. Core values accomplish this by:


• Delineating the principles for interactions between all stakeholders

• Communicating those values in a consistent and forceful manner

• Building a basis for reinforcement and enforcement of organizational values

• Providing a basis for personal and organizational accountability

• Setting the boundaries for acceptable behavior for all associates

Empowering Subcultures Boosts Cultural Renewal PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jerry   

No organization has just one culture. Every enterprise culture is comprised of any number of smaller individual subcultures.
Workplace Gossip
Each team, department and division has a distinct subculture that exists as a smaller reflection of the way the associates in the enterprise at large work together, communicate, plan, solve problems, make products and provide services, form friendships, measure progress and reward success. In fact, inside each subculture are usually more informal groups or cliques of employees who share common interests. These groups can become very influential in the absence of strong, positive leadership from the formal leaders of the organization. These internal influences can account for significant differences in performance between subcultures within the same enterprise. Depending on the strength of the workplace culture, the informal leaders can either positively or negatively impact the attitudes of other members of the subculture, dramatically affecting performance. As an example, one sales team may outperform all the other teams, even when those teams sell the same products at the same prices to the same types of customers.

A note about my workshops with the Kansas Dept. of Transportation PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Henderson   

I just returned from giving a keynote address and a couple of workshops to more than 200 leaders of Kansas Department of Transportation. It was really rewarding to see how many of these leaders from every level of KDOT responded to the idea of building their own powerful subcultural organizations – in spite of being in a period of reduced revenue and ever-tightening budgets.

I was amazed at how excited many of them were about the idea of taking the initiative to improve the effectiveness of their own organizations; not waiting for their leaders to do it for them.
