"During your presentation yesterday, I was sitting at a table with a manager who has been disillusioned and disappointed in our organization. He is usually on his phone during these Leadership Summits. Yesterday, he was so engaged and really interested in how to implement your 5 Stages of Leadership and to work through them with his staff. I’m so excited for our people. It feels like they are coming back to life. Such a good day. Can we just create a position for you on our leadership team?"

Now more than ever, workplace culture matters. It helps organizations attract and retain great talent—or repel great talent. An organization’s culture is a key determinant in deepening and extending customer sales—or not. An organization’s culture is critical when you’re looking to enhance efficiencies, performance, and profits. Either your culture is helping you achieve your objectives—or it’s not.

You’re the leader. The choice is yours.

Is it time to Rethink, Reshape, and Revive Your Organization’s Culture?
