If you want better performance, then you need a stronger culture. Not only is this my fervent belief (and my experience over the last twenty years), but big companies like McKinsey have research studies that back it up. My consulting work helps organizations create stronger cultures and get better performance. We all long for a workplace where employees take initiative, where problems get solved, and where you can actually be fast and nimble as an organization. Stop wanting all this, and start doing it. I can help.
