  • Turning Around a Toxic Culture: Part 5 - Ongoing Monitoring and Continuous Improvement of Culture

    Turning Around a Toxic Culture: Part 5 - Ongoing Monitoring and Continuous Improvement of Culture
    May 10 2024
    Boeing is not the first company to find itself amid a massive scandal. You can think of Siemens’ bribery and corruption scandal, the VW emissions-testing scandal, the Wells Fargo fraudulent accounts scandal, or any other myriad of corporate scandals where culture failed and created a toxic culture. The question for any organization in such a situation is how to transform its culture. In this special five-part podcast series, Sam Silverstein, the most trusted voice in America on accountability, and Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, look at the ways a company in the depths of such a situation can plan out and take concrete steps to turn around and rebuild its culture. In this concluding Part 5, we explore the dynamism of culture and why ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement are so critical for a true culture transformation. Leaders must set a clear vision for a positive culture, emphasizing values such as excellence, safety, and community involvement, and stress the importance of proactive actions to foster a culture of excellence. However, even after assessing a culture, the culture transformation strategy, and the plan’s implementation, the culture transformation must be nurtured through ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement. Leaders must make culture a primary objective, consistently demonstrating core values while advocating for continuous culture monitoring and improvement. Both agree that cultivating a solid culture improves the organization’s bottom line, enhances the quality of products, and contributes to the betterment of communities.
