Leadership and Culture Change

Individual, Team, and Organization Development

 

A strategic, comprehensive, and integrated approach to improving organizational performance through a process of self-assessment, continuous improvement, and change management.

 

The question is not whether organizations should embark on a journey of "self-renewal," but how well they do it. Organizations must get better at getting better !

Jerry Kraus has a unique perspective on organizational excellence and what it takes to improve the bottom line through leadership coaching, teamwork development, and organization-led culture change.

STRATEGIC -

 

Culture Change Starts at the Top - Only the Senior Management Team can bring about change in an organization through active leadership, coaching, and support.  Executives must find different ways to involve, engage, and empower employees to maximize motivation, teamwork, and organizational performance.

  • Explore organizational needs and readiness for culture change

  • Develop a customized Strategic Change Management Plan

  • Determine the impact of change initiatives on the bottom line

 

COMPREHENSIVE -

 

Macro Management - Organizations are complex socio-technical systems with inter-dependent elements that must be balanced to achieve organizational excellence and high performance. Get a big picture perspective on organizational performance and change leadership, and zoom out and "un-immerse" from the day-to-day for new insights.

  • Use an overarching Model of Organizational Excellence as a guide 

  • Develop or adopt a universal continuous improvement process

  • Build a foundation for sustainable performance improvement

INTEGRATED -

 

A Systems View - Focus on practical application on real work issues and performance improvement in the design and development of change initiatives and improvement programs. Develop knowledge of Organization Development (OD) principles and practices, and critical process consultation skills needed to lead the evolution.

  • Lead the development of an adaptable "learning organization"  

  • Systems theory provides insights and different perspective

  • Consider leadership development in the context of the team  

Model of Organizational Excellence

Anchor 1

Consider several aspects of organizational effectiveness in the change planning process, and seek balance and integration of the four basic elements:

Strategy -  Mission, goals, action plans

Systems -  Policies, procedures, processes

 

Structure -  Functional reporting relationships

 

Culture -  Climate, values, behavior
