How do you get everyone in the organization to “buy-in” to the culture? There is only one answer to this question and it takes time, commitment, focus and consistency through management behaviors. A Mission statement, Values statement, or proclamation from leadership has never been successful in and of themselves. Cultures are built over time through the actions and decisions of leadership. These actions and decisions must be consistent with stated values and beliefs for a culture to take root and grow. Employees, departments, and individuals must be able to clearly see where they “fit-in” for them to embrace the true values and mission of the organization.
THE PROCESS
Applying the same processes that established the communication styles, behavior styles, and values of the leadership team, Dougherty & Associates integrates each unit within the organization to the mission of the organization, aligning common communication patterns, behavior styles and values. The result is a total commitment to direction, mission and values of the organization.
