The companies that survive this unprecedented time of change will be those that embrace evolution. Vision gives direction to an organization's evolution. But the vision, like a businesses' operating assumptions must be constantly examined. Organizational Transformation Begins at the Top. Organizations do not transform.
Corporate culture is fundamentally a function of the personality of the leadership.
If you want to transform your company then you must first transform the belief systems, values and behaviors of your top people. Millions of dollars are wasted each year sending middle managers on personal development courses. They taste and experience transformation. When they return, they find their newly acquired emotional intelligence skills are not appreciated by their superiors. The training serves only to frustrate and alienate managers from the company.
