Can company culture really change?

I'm commonly asked —

“Can company culture really change?”

My answer is a resounding YES. In fact, it most definitely will change.

Culture is simply shared beliefs, values, and practices. It can be witnessed in almost everything from the intentional, company-wide meetings to the smallest day-to-day conversations.

As the people inside the organization change (both in personal change and personnel change), the culture will change along with it.

Now here's the bad news —

Reversing a very toxic culture can be like treating a severe illness. It requires —

• Diagnosis of the problem,

• Experimentation with treatment, and

• The support of many.

ULTIMATELY, a cultural change can BEGIN with the support of just one, very persistent person.
