Building an Organizational Culture of Performance Excellence
In the pursuit of performance excellence, your culture – the organizational ecosystem – is the backdrop for what is possible. Organizational culture can either enhance or inhibit performance, engagement, retention, and loyalty. This complex ecosystem shapes norms, the way work is approached, and how people related to each other. These have direct effects on strategy execution and business success. While organizational cultures often emerge organically, leaders have the responsibility to be intentional in cultivating an environment that fosters engagement and achievement. Guided by insights drawn from behavioral science, this discussion will highlight practical strategies for building an organizational culture of performance excellence. Learning Objectives: Understand the pivotal role of organizational culture as the context for engagement and performance, Understand the foundational principles of behavioral science, Assess how alignment of systems and practices enhances or inhibits performance and Incorporate practical strategies into their daily management practices.
