Recommendation

Executives love to plan and introduce new business strategies. They begin with fanfare and celebratory kickoffs. Then come territorial road shows and “strategy T-shirts.” Each new, unnerving tactical initiative means new survival rules for your workforce. Employee cultures are “initiative-weary and -wary.” The solution to this dilemma can be easy to understand but difficult to accomplish: Leaders must get their employee culture to commit to the organization’s interests, plans and activities. And that is possible, but only if executives respect that culture. Employee-commitment expert and best-selling author Stan Slap explains how to reach this critical goal.

Take-Aways

  • Strategic execution depends on employee culture. It’s not planning that makes a strategy successful. It’s implementation. 
  • Avoid the “seven deadly sins of cultural commitment.”
  • The first sin is failing to respect your employee culture. Strategic execution depends on employee culture, so you want to win its commitment to your plans and actions.
