For most leaders, this question can be a scary one. Scary because we worry that the answer to this question will highlight all of our shortcomings to those who look to us to have all the answers. The reality is, everyone already knows we don’t have all the answers as leaders, and admitting that and proactively adding expertise to shore up areas that could be better is good leadership.

The truth is that every organization can improve its cultural health, no matter where it lies on the spectrum from poor to really good. In fact, improving cultural health can be such a differentiator and catalyst for growth in any organization. Here are just four reasons why:

  1. Your organization will be a place people want to be and your team will want to come to work.
  2. Productivity will increase broadly, and your KPIs will see positive growth. For a charity or small business that will mean revenue amongst other things; for a church or social agency it will mean more people attending or being served.
  3. You will attract and retain more skilled people, which will save you money through productivity in the long run.
  4. As Peter Drucker said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Improving your culture by default makes your organizational effectiveness better. Culture is sales, culture is production, culture is taking care of customers, clients, church members, and of course, your own people!
