Building a Culture of Distinction: Facilitator Guide for Defining Organizational Culture and Managing Change Sheila Margolis

Are you looking for a process to define the culture of your company? Do you understand how organizational culture can make your company more competitive? And once you've defined the culture, do you have a systematic process for alignment so everyone is living the prime principles that will generate success? The Building a Culture of Distinction program answers these culture questions and guides you in the change process.
This organizational culture assessment and alignment do-it-yourself Facilitator Guide provides a comprehensive, step-by-step process with activities and tools to define, shape and manage your organizational culture so you can use culture to achieve positive change.

Facilitator Notes are embedded throughout the section to guide your implementation.

A companion workbook--Building a Culture of Distinction: Participant Workbook for Defining Organizational Culture and Managing Change--is designed for employees who take part in the program. An additional resource--There Is No Place Like Work--is an ideal introductory reading on the culture concepts.
