Unintentional organizational cultures often result in lack of engagement, “can’t do” attitudes, and weak performance. Culture is what people in the organization believe is expected, attitudes about what is possible, and the norms for behavior. Leadership for intentional culture ensures success.

COLLECT DATA, UNDERSTAND INSIGHTS

Understanding the culture of your organization regarding performance is the essential first step towards getting the competitive edge. Our assessment process will:

  • Identify current culture state and provide actionable insights to drive employee performance.
  • Seek insights into leadership practices that are critical to mission success.
  • Ensure legitimacy, confidentiality, and efficiency, as well as safety, trust, and fairness for all stakeholders.

 I use the Excellence with Integrity Elevator Speech every day. It really showed me how to get your point across, show your passion, be done with it, step out of that elevator and see where that seed grows.

Whether it's your supervisor or someone who reports to you, if you can create some passion or show your passion, that's a powerful thing.

 Before, I had unhealthy habits of handling stress, I would just ignore people and, for example, I would disappear for the rest of the day after failing a test.

In the Academy, we learned Excellence with Integrity tools for managing stress. Now I actually try to go talk to the teacher and ask what I did wrong. I try to be more constructive on how I handle things.
