Disrupting Bad Company Cultures to Create a Workplace that Delivers, Grows, and Adapts with Siobhan McHale


Listen Later

A bad culture can corrupt good people. Siobhan Mchale

Do you ever wonder why big companies like Enron failed to make it despite being a top energy company at its time? Why did Nokia lose over Apple even though they have the technology to compete with them?

It's more than a technology or a product problem. These organizations and their downfall had something to do with their culture.

Culture is a powerful force that can drive a company to its success. But a poor culture cripples any company or, worse, kills the future of the business.

To avoid business failure, culture expert Siobhan Mchahale, author of The Insider's Guide to Culture Change, joins us to share her proven four-step process to demystifying culture transformation and starting down the path to positive change!

She has worked with big companies and large organizations, helping leaders create a productive and culturally safe workplace. Siobhan led a low-performing Australian bank and over and over a seven-year change initiative, transformed it into one of the highest performing banks in the world!
