I met Colin Ellis a few years ago when he first arrived in Australia from Liverpool. He makes dapper cool again with his sensational dress sense and million dollar smile. He loves the people stuff as much as I do, and in this podcast episode we geek out on all things culture.
👉🏼PSSST… If you want to join a community of like-minded leadership thinkers, sign up for my weekly leadership articles and get the People Stuff Toolkit as a bonus. Get it here now.
Why you should listen:
Why culture change IS NOT HARD (like consultants say it is) and takes 9-18 months (not 3-5 years)
How to (and how not to) measure culture
Where to start in dealing with toxic cultures
We explore:
The ultimate measure of culture is how happy people are.
As the leader, if you are not addressing the behavior, you're part of the problem. ultimately, in toxic cultures, managers have got to look at themselves in the mirror.
As a leader, if you're not in service to the people, you're not a leader. You're a manager doing things the way that you want to do them, not the way that the other person wants them to be done.
