The Leader's Role in Culture Change
The leadership in most cases craft and engineer the culture change. They need to
demonstrate the aspects of the new culture. They begin to
own and dispense the new ways. A new culture must be learnt and learning is a process. The leadership
enacts the appropriate learning environment through questioning, developing a shared vision and removing barriers to learning.
The
leadership style will determine the quality of information and feedback that the leadership receives. If the leadership is proud and hides
errors, the staff of an organization will learn to play the camouflage game. In the end they will appear to have changed the culture, but deep inside there will be no change.
