As a leader in your organization or corporation, do you truly understand what impacts the “people performance?”
With so many rapid changes in organizations today, (M&A, business model changes, need to improve performance), leaders frequently omit to acquire real deep evidence from the drivers of their success, or challenges: their people.
This recent article, from over a decade of research and interventions, addresses the urgency for leaders to go deep within their organization sub-cultures, to better understand the issues and causes, if they want true sustainable change.
This article written by Suzanne Murray, Patrice Lazure and Sophie Péloquin was published in People + Strategy, Volume 40, Issue 2, Spring 2017, p.40
