Good news
In that last blog I described an organization which seemed to resist (deny) any organizational health problems in their current culture. Just as I was about to post that blog I learned that this organization did, in fact, decide to accept the data in our assessment and to begin addressing the problems in their present culture wherever issues exist. We are now in the process of working with them to fulfill this need. Soon thereafter - - perhaps simultaneously - - we will begin the second phase, which is preparing them for a future culture of enormous growth. This company and its senior management are to be commended for their willingness to look at what no company ever really wants to see: Unhealthy situations in their corporate culture. - - And not only did they take off their rose-colored glasses for a clear, realistic look, they have now begun to address those issues. Wouldn’t it be great if all organizations could follow their lead?
