If we had to narrow it down to just one factor that differentiates a victim of culture from a leader, it would have to be their identity. While they often feel the same frustrations, notice the same problems and experience similar challenges, the leader sees herself as an agent of change. This self perception urges her to take action that challenges the status-quo. And it turns out that this act of courage creates ripples and waves that make a world of difference to others.
In this episode Emmanuel Gobillot talks about how an individual within an organisation can significantly contribute to improving their company culture, what’s important to keep in mind when we are trying to create a culture of collaboration and how to overcome fears that stand in the way to creating an environment where 1+1 equals much more more than 2.
