• Stomp The Elephant in The Office

We Need to Talk

What do we want? When do we want it?

2The Five Approaches To Dealing with The Elephant

1. “There Is an Elephant in the Office” Approach. Teamwork may bediscussed and ropes may be climbed in these organizations, but the all-important “C” word—culture— remains whispered in the hallways. Theelephant remains unmentioned, though it stands in the middle of the roommunching on strategies and initiatives for lunch.

2. The “Wish Management” Approach. While people intuitively know what is right and wrong, they take few intentional actions in these organizations because they do not know how to take them. Culture is talked about, but guessing, wishing and hoping are the primary strategies for creating an effective one. Hiring for talent with little regard for character is the norm in such companies. Inevitably, all these tactics lead to “You can’t change people” being muttered over unsatisfactory spreadsheets.

3. The “Cheerleader” Approach. People in these organizations areexposed to motivational speakers, false praise, elaborate rewards andother gimmicks in an effort to externally motivate and engage them.Rhetoric rules, with trite clichés posted and then forgotten in a day.People are smart; they grow tired of such patently manipulative moves.They are left feeling disenfranchised while objectives are never fullyrealized. The true language of an effective culture remains foreign.

4. The “People Are Our Priority” Approach. These organizations haveaddressed the elephant, and thus enjoy fewer personnel issues. Culture,discussed openly within boardrooms, bathrooms and everywhere else, is thepriority. Yet the workforce, while engaged and feeling good, remainsunharnessed and unfocused, and strategies are poorly executed. Here,people are excited about where they work, but not the work they do.

That is because such organizations miss the point: Results are the priority.

People and culture are the strategies to achieve the priority: to deliver results

5. The “Wellness Culture” Approach. This approach, which the workforce is engaged and its actions are aligned with the organization’s strategies and business objectives. These organizations consistently strengthen this link because they know that effective cultures are not a one-size fits-all proposition. These groups have a common language that addresses individual and collective behaviors—everyone becomes more efficient. It is only in Wellness Cultures that individuals and their organizations realize their true potentials.
