 The
culture of a firm is more than a simple statement regarding the way
life unfolds around your business. It is the sum of the company's
beliefs, values and attitudes. It is pervasive, all-inclusive and
deserving to receive regular attention. It affects every change you
want to implement.
In fact, when organizational change fails, it
is often because the company has not looked at its culture or
determined how the change will be received.
Culture is related
to organizational health, effectiveness and history. It holds the key
to understanding past performance and predicting opportunities for
future productivity.
How does your organization's culture
measure up? What should you look for? You can start by asking yourself
the following questions:
1. Is our vision clearly stated, understood and practiced?
2. How are the principles of effective leadership espoused throughout the organization?
3. Do you encourage goal setting, empowerment and success?
4. How is information acquired, shared, retained, utilized and transformed?
5. Are communication channels for critical information timely, direct, inclusive and accurate?
Culture is an intangible asset that separates the success patterns of similar restaurant companies.
Why
does Company A fail, while Company B succeeds? Assuming that both
companies produce quality products at competitive prices, the answer
lies in the culture of the respective organizations. Understanding and
utilizing a company culture can make the difference between triumph and
tragedy.
