Nothing could be more important in today's competitive work environment than the strength of your organization's culture-the shared beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors that exist within an organization. A strong culture is one where minimal politics and confusion exists, turnover is low among good employees, engagement and productivity are high, and results are consistently good. Leaders must find ways to strengthen the culture within their organizations. Those who do will be rewarded not only with greater success but also greater fulfillment at work. This book gives leaders-supervisors, department heads, team leads, managers, directors, vice presidents, executives, and CEOs-simple and effective ways to impact the culture within their organization. Why are the ideas in this book simple? One of my favorite authors, Stephen R. Covey, once talked about the impact a trim tab has on a large ship. Covey pointed out how a simple and very small mechanism, the trim tab, has the power to change the entire direction of an enormous ship. If you looked at a trim tab you might not think much of it, however, that wouldn't change its capacity, when utilized, to impact the course of the ship. The suggestions offered in this book are like a trim tab-small and simple. Some can be done with little effort, but they are powerful in their ability to have a significant impact on the direction of your organization. Don't let the simplicity distract you from their potential. And just as they are easy to do, they are also easy to ignore or forget about. When implemented with consistency, the ideas in this book will help you trim tab your way to a strong organizational culture. In time, these ideas will produce wildly different results-better results-results and fulfillment you've never imagined possible.
