About this listen

The secret to the success or failure of any business boils down to its culture.

From disengaged employees to underserved customers, business failures invariably stem from a culture problem. In The Insider’s Guide to Culture Change, acclaimed culture transformation expert and global executive Siobhan McHale shares her proven four-step process to demystifying culture transformation and starting down the path to positive change.

Many leaders and managers struggle to get a handle on exactly what culture is and how pervasive its impact is throughout an organization. Some try to change the culture by publishing a statement of core values but soon find that, aside from some short-term lip service, no meaningful change happens. Others try to unify the culture around a set of shared goals that satisfy shareholders but find their efforts backfire as stressed employees throw their hands up because "leadership just doesn’t get it." Others implement expensive new IT systems to try to bring about change, only to find that employees find "workarounds" and soon go back to their old ways.

Culture transformation expert Siobhan McHale defines culture simply: "It’s how things work around here."

The Insider’s Guide to Culture Change walks listeners through McHale’s four-step process to culture transformation, including how to:

  • Understand what "corporate culture" really is and how it impacts every aspect of the way your organization operates
  • Analyze where your culture is broken or not adding maximum value
  • Unlock the power of reframing roles within your company, to empower and engage your employees
  • Utilize proven methods and tools to break through deeply embedded patterns and change your company mind-set
  • Keep the momentum going by consolidating gains and maintaining your foot on the change accelerator

With The Insider’s Guide to Culture Change, watch your employees go from followers to change leaders who drive an agile culture that constantly outperforms.

A great guide and future reference on how to embrace change and how to prepare and encourage it.

This insightful perspective is just what I wanted from a book and wish more companies, bosses and management to take these steps with implementation of change and growing their culture. I want to be a CVO after reading this book.

A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WORKING IN HR OR MANAGEMENT

Siobhán McHale has to be one of 2020 most influential workplace cultural change specialists with over 20 years experience her book - “The Insider’s Guide to Cultural Change” - is a must read and I learned so much through listening on repeat through Audible.
Her insights, examples and experiences working in HR across different countries for global organisations sets her apart from other writers in this genre.
I just wish that this book was given to every HR or Management graduate to understand from the beginning of their career what to do and what not to do.

A Taste Of Change

Great to listen to over the past few days.

Interesting for those of us who have worked in the financial world and in Australia.

Disruptive leadership is necessary and Siobhan has a simple memorable model to follow.

Definitely recommend.
