There was a time when working in a 9 to 5 schedule was the norm for most employees. No , this is not an ancient times scenario but something as recent as two to three decades back.

By Joanne Perold. I noticed an article in the news the other day about the toxic culture in one of South Africa’s large organisations. The article was speaking about how that toxic culture was impacting the bottom line of the company. People were too scared to share and speak about problems, and so problems only came to light at the last minute. When this happens it makes problems much more difficult and expensive to fix.

Strategy Creation Stage. As you work to build a clear corporate strategy for success , make sure you do not get carried away with your potentially biased and untested ideas and avoid the need to increase strategic buy-in. While it is important to form a strategic hypothesis that outlines an early view of your most important strategic assumptions and bets, it is equally important to critically evaluate and test your strategic suppositions.

When to Develop Individual Change Capability. Organizations frequently wait too long before they tell their employees about proposed changes; so most people find out through the grapevine. Leaders often feel that if they tell people too soon they will lose productivity and divert attention from the task at hand. That is a mistake.
