Culture eats strategy

What Did Your Organization Serve Up For Breakfast This Morning?

Mar 5, 2019 | Employee Engagement, Leadership, Performance Management

If we know culture is the most important part of any successful business, what is your organization doing to create a positive and healthy culture?

How much is your company spending on creating the culture they want? What are they spending in time? In money? In thought? In discussion?

Saying that culture is important without purposefully investing in it is like saying exercise/meditation/food is important without having an exercise plan, a meditation practice, or a sensible diet in place.

 

“’Culture eats strategy for breakfast’, a phrase originated by Peter Drucker and made famous by Mark Fields, President at Ford, is an absolute reality! Any company disconnecting the two are putting their success at risk. . . . Organizational culture eats strategy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so don’t leave it unattended.”(source: https://www.torbenrick.eu/blog/culture/organisational-culture-eats-strategy-for-breakfast-lunch-and-dinner/)

If your company isn’t creating the culture it aspires to, the culture will create itself, and it’s likely not to be too healthy.

What is your organization doing to improve its culture?
