How do leaders change culture?

Leaders cannot eliminate dysfunctional elements in the culture.  However leaders are expected to improve behavior.  How does an effective leader improve behavior
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I disagree. I think leaders CAN eliminate dysfunction in the culture.

How do leaders change culture? BY EXAMPLE!

I've done some studies and have read in numerous books how the CEO or head of an organization drives the culture of that business. This can occur in any culture.

Changing the culture of organisations is a big subject. There's no quick and simple answer that I can give you here. What's more, if you are in the position of wanting to change the culture in your own organisation, just reading about it will only be a limited help.

A couple of good approaches to culture change are decribed here:

And you can read about how Lou Gertsner did it at IBM here:

If you actually want to make it happen in your organisation, and have no idea where to begin, I'd recommend looking into hiring a consulting firm like the ones pointed to by the links above.

I read "Dancing with Elephants" and "Tribal Leadership" both good books. What is your opinion of leadership and culture?

I'm not sure what it is that you want to know. Can you say some more about that?

If you've read whole books about the subject, there's nothing I can tell you in a couple of lines that will add much to what you already know.
