Leading Emotional Culture in Organizations

Last updated on: July 6, 2016 at 11:36 am By Justin Irving

Though a bit staggered in the past weeks, I’m in mini-series engaging the importance of organizational culture. I began by engaging Why Organizational Culture Matters (“Why Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast”). In that post, I engaged the questions… What Is Organizational Culture? And, Why Does Organizational Culture Matter? Based on answers to these questions I concluded that leaders must focus on both smart strategy AND healthy culture in their leadership work. Next, I presented a case for Engaging the Emotional Side of Organizational... Read more

Last updated on: June 11, 2016 at 5:10 pm By Justin Irving

Poverty is not a theme I take up frequently in this blog, but it is one that is important to our societies in general and to many individuals at a personal level.

How Do You Work in the 24/7 Culture?

Last updated on: May 30, 2016 at 1:34 pm By Justin Irving

The cover of a Harvard Business Review edition recently grabbed my attention — “Managing the 24/7 Workplace … ‘Always available’ cultures breed problems.” Facing the “Always Available” Workplace I’m not sure what your work environment looks like, but the reality of the 24/7 workplace is impacting an increasing number of sectors and an increasing number of employees. Reid and Ramarajan put it this way: “To satisfy those demands [of the high-intensity workplace], employees arrive early, stay late, pull all-nighters, work... Read more

Is Higher Education Worth It?

Last updated on: May 15, 2016 at 2:32 pm By Justin Irving

Graduation season is upon us. I celebrated with a friend at his graduation last week. In the coming week my university begins its marathon of multiple commencement services. And, by the end of the month I will be completing a third graduate degree. As I think about the importance of these events and the value of education in general, I’m reminded of several realities. Education Is a Good Investment First, education is a good investment of time and money. This is not... Read more

Why Organizational Culture Matters: “Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast”

Last updated on: April 23, 2016 at 2:43 pm By Justin Irving

What Is Organizational Culture? Although the language of culture is used frequently, organizational members do not always understand what is meant by the term “organizational culture.” In his classic book on the subject (Organizational Culture and Leadership), Edgar Schein summarizes organizational culture as the accumulated shared learning of a give group. This shared learning is observed through a variety of organizational realities such as the way people behave, established group norms, and espoused values. Culture is essentially the organizational air... Read more
