Change Is a Door That Opens From Within


Unless you invest hard work to introduce the new culture, which will produce the new results you need to see in your business, you will be unable to realise those new results. The elderly culture will seldom produce different results. You can seldom expect the elderly culture to magically abandon its powerful, persistent existing attributes & miraculously produce different results. That can seldom happen, no matter how plenty of resources you throw behind trying to flog the elderly culture to produce different results.

Where you find your business right now is the right place to start, in the event you need to improve the results you are currently enjoying, by evolving your current culture. It is important to know that the current culture within your organisation is not a bad culture; it is merely a culture, which can produce a positive outcome or result. In the event you need to produce a different result, then you will need to make a few shifts to inspire your people to think & act in a manner that will produce the different result. It is seldom necessary to total transform the culture within any organisation. As a rule, all that is necessary is a few shifts in thinking & activity, which is facilitated through changes in the every day experiences people are exposed to.


They as humans exhibit the same kind of behaviour in our work environments. The beliefs within the organisation are seldom communicated by memos or emails, it is a knowing, a set of beliefs about the way things are done in the business. These beliefs are usually spoken about, by beginning the sentence with "Around Here" followed by the belief or way of thinking. Unless you can introduce new experiences within your business to break or alter these ingrained beliefs, it will be impossible to enjoy better or different results.

As this monkey had seldom been exposed to the icy water spray, they immediately went for the bananas. Before the monkey could even reach the ladder the other monkeys attacked the new monkey, until it learnt not to touch the bananas. Over time all the elderly monkeys were removed & replaced with new monkeys, who had seldom even been sprayed with the jets of freezing icy water. The new monkeys seldom went near the bananas, the behaviour had been transferred to the new group of monkeys & they did not even know why they could not eat the bananas.

It is impossible to get people to alter the way they act in their work environments, unless there is an accompanying alter in beliefs or the way people think. When you consciously work to alter the experience within your organisation, so that you can start to help people to evolve & transform their beliefs, you can gradually alter their actions & ultimately the results you can enjoy.

Shifting culture within any business is not an simple task, but is most definitely a necessity if any business desires to positively alter their results. Culture alter is facilitated using distinct steps.

Exploration: This is the first part in the process, where the leadership within the organisation audits the current culture & establishes the strengths & weaknesses of the current culture. They also examine the beliefs, actions & experiences within the business & try to discover which part of the current culture will support the new results they are trying to accomplish & which part of the culture needs to be shifted.
