In this episode, Robert Kaelin and Mike Newman discuss the challenge of changing culture in organizations. They explore the pyramid model of culture change, which starts with experience, leads to beliefs, and ultimately affects actions and results.

They highlight the difficulties of changing culture in large organizations and the importance of buy-in and connection. The conversation also touches on the role of accountability, the fear of failure, and the value of embracing failure as a learning opportunity.

The hosts emphasize the need to clearly state the new result, inspire a shared vision, and take action to produce the desired change. They also discuss the importance of identifying the beliefs that generate the right actions and providing experiences to instill those beliefs. The episode concludes with key considerations for leaders in changing culture, including the need for a significant change in direction, the time required for large-scale change, and the development of people along the way.

Takeaways

• Changing culture in organizations is a challenging task, especially in large organizations where buy-in and connection can be more difficult to achieve.
