In my new book, “Unconventional Business,” I identify five steps towards developing a healthy, ethical culture. The first step is “Assessing the strength of your culture.”
Years ago, I reviewed a culture assessment tool with a business owner. He proudly gave himself the highest rankings, and assured me that his staff would as well.
When my assessment was complete this owner learned that his entire team had rated his leadership and the culture of his organization very low.
1 Corinthians 3:18 says, “Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.”
To establish a healthy culture, begin with an objective assessment of your existing culture, otherwise, you’re likely to be deceived.
