Chapter 5 — The Secrets of Reshaping Culture As we enter a new millennium of leadership, the rules of the game have not only changed they are constantly changing. How can an organization hope to survive when the environment in which it is doing business is continually confronted by broadening competition, shorter product cycle times, old paradigm/new paradigm leadership questions, and an increasingly high premium on available time? The answer is surprisingly not about working more, harder, or faster. It is actually conveyed in the title of this book. The secret of a winning culture is building high-performance teams. Is that a secret? Probably not. The real secret this book reveals, then, is in how to make it happen. The Secret of a Winning Culture: Building High-performance Teams sets forth a proven series of principles and processes that ensures an organization's success when leaders change, mergers and acquisitions join cultures, change initiatives are introduced, and faster simply isn't enough. Putting these ideas into action unlocks the power of high performance teams, which in turn, produces high performance organizations. The secret to building high-performance teams ultimately lies in the health of the organizational culture. Are people throughout the company feeling energized, motivated, able to grow personally and professionally? Or are they overstressed, overworked, focused solely on numbers and results? This book outlines how to realize a set of healthy working principles for organizational change and life-effectiveness that both produces results and is inherently fulfilling. Change is not about to go away, which is why the message of The Secret of a Winning Culture: Building High-performance Teams is so valuable —to ensure today's corporate cultures are still thriving tomorrow.

To read an excerpt from this book click on the Chapter title below:

Chapter 1 -- The Complex, Mind-Filled World
Chapter 4 — Slowing It Down to Run Faster
Chapter 7 — Aligned Interactions

Hard drives are packed, file cabinets are filled, and office floors are piled with the pending and pressing. There are decisions to be made about launching new products and services, projections and directions to be planned, operations opened, facilities closed, compensation packages negotiated, mergers discussed, acquisitions incorporated, and then there's lunch. Running a corporation is often a matter of details and deadlines. But how does a CEO bring a semblance of pattern to this complex clutter? The answer is actually a quiet one. It begins with a mental shift from a mind-filled perspective to that of one that is mindful--spacious--receptive--ready to address that which it encounters without the crammed overload that too much, too many, and too fast often causes.

The Mindful Corporation provides a course of direction toward operating more conscious organizations. We will describe what "slowing it down" means in a corporate world. We will show how slowing it down actually allows an organization to move more efficiently and accomplish more. We will look at how our insights can expand and sometimes limit our decisions. What we will find through case studies of organizations already on the path to mindfulness is that as we become more aware, more mindful, more connected to our own resilience and flexibility, we also become more adaptable, adept, and agile in operating within today's complex environments.
