The challenge of changing corporate culture is a daunting task, especially when facing time-tested processes and employees and managers who are deeply rooted in the past. Of course, it can be done, and it all starts with you.
“That’s the way we’ve always done it.” We’ve all heard this phrase uttered at a place of business, usually at the end of a conversation that leaves everything unchanged but the level of frustration. There are many reasons corporate culture may resist adaptation and progress, but that’s the big one. It’s the way things have always been done.
When you encounter the challenge of changing corporate culture, you may be facing entrenched policies and personalities that fear change. Even when new ideas obviously make things easier on everyone (and often increases profitability), corporate culture change can be met with staunch aversion or, even worse, apathy.
