Leadership and culture are fundamentally intertwined, and leaders are the main architects of the culture. The culture of an organization is a reflection of the values, beliefs, and behaviors of leaders of the group and the legacy of past leaders. Cultural forces are powerful because they operate outside of our awareness. We have the ability to measure, monitor and manage culture and leadership capacity.
Integral to leading from deeply held values is mastering your integrity, authenticity and being committed to something bigger than yourself. This forms the foundation for being an effective leader and the effective practice of leadership. Leadershift explores your leadership team current capacity, their strengths, and developmental gaps to build individual and collective leadership capacity.
“Organizational transformation begins with the transformation of the leaders.”

Leadership // Culture
Leader: An individual responsible to manage the values of the organization. Who you are as a leader—the values you embrace, and the beliefs you hold— are automatically transmitted to the group you are responsible for through your words, behaviors, and actions.
Hence: Organizational Transformation begins with the Personal Transformation of the leaders. If the leaders don’t change, the culture won’t change.
