Have You Met the Culture Monster?
Chances are, you have and didn’t even realize it. He eats your best strategies, creativity, innovation, team spirit, people, performance and profits for breakfast. He’s the dark side of human nature that needs crushing so that you and your team can thrive!
In this 2-day intensive workshop you will learn both how to recognize him in your life, your business and your team and squash him in his tracks. You’ll embrace the latest tools and techniques to maximize your individual excellence as a leader as well as your team’s and experience real transformation. You’ll acquire the tools to master the healthiest and most effective ways to improve yourself and your team and build team unity that celebrates diversity rather than tolerating it. You’ll also receive a 10-week audio podcast sustainment program so you can maintain your excellence and keep the culture monster on the run at home as well as where you work.

This workshop will specifically address:
How to build a Service-Over-Self Relentless Commitment to Excellence in your life, leadership and team.
What culture is and isn’t:
- Why and how culture really does “eat strategy for breakfast”
- How cultural mindsets control the reality of what your people and team either embraces or misses
- Why and where you and your people are unknowingly resisting change and innovation
- What can and cannot be changed so you stop wasting time trying to be something you’re not
- How to change what you want to change to excellence with real, sustainable transformation
How your individual personal, leadership and team culture can cause below the surface:
- Forced diversity that destroys unity instead of celebrated diversity that creates unity
- Resistance to change and anti-innovation
- Team members kissing up to your face and then doing the opposite behind your back
- Buck-passing and finger-pointing instead of holding each other accountable and winning
- Passive reactivity instead of proactive accountability and innovation
- Conflict avoidance, fear & the resulting inferior performance
Participating leaders will:
- Receive a scientific culture assessment benchmarking their own individual leadership culture to benchmark against high performing leadership cultures around the world
- Gain clarity on the 2 basic types of organizational or team cultures and how transformation works
- Learn the 3 warning signs of an unintentional sabotage culture and how to avoid them
- Identify the characteristics of a Relentless Commitment to Excellence Culture and how to build it
- Find out how to win the culture war between the default of mediocracy and excellence
- Identify and Understand:
- The characteristics of intentionally excellent teams in depth
- The stages of successful team growth and how to make the most of them for your team
- The concept of real accountability and how it creates unity that celebrates diversity
- How to produce voluntary team co-accountability that results in breakthrough innovation
