Ignite Culture---The Antidote to Strategic Gridlock

2024 SHRM Northern California Annual Conference

You may have heard this quote from management guru Peter Drucker, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Here's what he didn't say, but that you probably know from experience... "An entangled culture eats your leadership team for lunch and your CEO for dinner."

This is because the harder an organization pushes strategies on an entangled culture, the more it rebels and the more entangled it becomes – we call this "strategic gridlock".
 
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be this way.  And it won't be this way when you have an Emergent Culture because an Emergent Culture is the antidote to strategic gridlock.

While some organizations have struggled, others have broken through and created world-class cultures. With intentionality, discipline, and heart, emergence is possible. Based on her 25 years of experience, Magi's inspiring talk provides the audience with insights into how to cultivate a culture that unites the team and optimizes their success. 
 
Attendees will walk away with the following culture-building skills:
- Clarity on the 4 core needs of an Emergent Culture
- How to spot the 3 biggest "cultural torpedoes" that elude most leaders. 
- How to foster a peak performing culture that breeds trust, alignment, and accountability... without cracking the whip or allowing free-for-all behavior.
