‘Great’ at sales but they don’t ‘fit’ the culture
Sound familiar? A ‘good', maybe even ‘great', salesperson is recruited and hits the ground running, kicking sales goals in the new role, however within a short space of time they have alienated their team, decided that the role is not for them, and left the organisation. As we know the cost of this selection is huge and begs the question, why did this ‘great' salesperson not work out? While there are many possible scenarios and reasons, we often find that a major contributor is the cultural ‘fit' between the individual and the organisation.

Why You Should Change Your Organization's Culture
The culture of your company (and yes, your company has a culture now, whether you can describe it or not) is the habitual way people in the company respond everyday to challenges and opportunities. The habitual way of responding can help your company reach its goals, or it can hinder it. Culture can be changed, though not easily, but first you must know what kind of culture you have and what kind you want.
Culture and Institutional Reform
Culture is often described as "the way we do things around here." In fact it is more complex. It is also feelings, underlying beliefs, values, history, and assumptions about an organization. Those are rooted in experiences, stories, and behaviour patterns sometimes decades or centuries old. The culture tells people what is and is not okay. Culture is enduring, difficult to develop or reshape.Despite that, fundamental culture change is necessary for the reforms envisaged in Results for Canadians.
Creating a Culture
Every company no matter what size develops some type of culture. The culture can be a productive one or, the culture can be a negative one. Whether you set out to create one or not your company develops a culture. That culture is the perception of employees who see and hear how things are done. Your culture is the summary of your environment, morale and management style. This article discusses what you can do to create the kind of culture which will move your company forward.
Why External Diagonal Career Moves are Rare
An external diagonal career move occurs when someone moves into a more senior or broader role in a different organisation in either the same or a different industry.

Assessing Your Nonprofit's Culture - Seven Questions To Ponder
Have you ever taken a careful look at the culture of your nonprofit organization? Is the culture positive or negative? Do people enjoy working there, or would they rather be somewhere else? The culture of an organization impacts staff retention, client satisfaction, and the organization's overall effectiveness and success. This article provides seven elements that need to be examined, to help your organization develop and retain a positive, healthy, and thriving culture.

Are You an ‘IN’ or ‘OUT’ Leader?
Leadership is both 'IN' and 'OUT'. A motivational leader not only guides people in the organisation but also take care and inspire the individuals who indirectly influence the growth factor of the organisation from outside.

Leadership and Service
Customer or client service directly reflects the culture that exists in an organisation. This culture is largely determined and maintained by the leadership the organisation provides. Over some 7 years Douglas Long has proved that the right sort of customer satisfaction assessment - that driven by the customer not the supplier - can be used to improve profitability. In this article Doug Long uses an actual experience with a major computer supplier in order to illustrate the need for good customer service and good leadership. He provides some pointers on how this is done.
Culture Fit
What is Culture Fit? Well the first place you are likely to hear about Culture Fit is when you are recruiting for new staff or being recruited yourself. For instance, Culture Fit Interviews differ from Behavioural Interviews, in that the Behavioural Interview attempts to find out about the candidate’s behaviour, skills, knowledge and experience. Culture Fit Interviews generally do not try to determine the individual’s capability, but rather considers the candidate’s ‘cultural fit’ with the organisation, their values and motivators.
The Value Spectrum of Performance Management
The ‘Value Spectrum' is a term we use to describe how Managers and Executives should be positioning performance goals so that their employees can significantly improve organisation performance. The ‘Value Spectrum' is part of what an employee does that adds significant value to the organisation as opposed to doing things that need to be completed as part of their core duties. Core duties relate more to the position or job description document i.e. tasks the employee already executes to a high standard but which don't help transform the organisation as a whole.
