"Culture, often perceived to be nebulous and hard to measure, is rarely factored into the equation at the start of transformational change. However, just like leadership, culture is one of the most important ingredients in determining an organization’s sustainable success. Successful transformational change should lead to a culture that supports the new way of operating. Leaders must ensure that the changes are not superficial but deeply ingrained in the organization’s cultural fabric. This long-term alignment between culture and change is critical for sustainability."

Evolve or fail. It's a truth about workplace culture that many C-Suite leaders miss, underestimate, or even avoid during seasons of disruption, rapid change, and strategic transitions. While many factors impact the success or failure of business transformation initiatives, one of the most overlooked and underappreciated assets in driving and managing change is proactively evolving your organization's culture to stay in sync with your long-term vision. Whether considering an M&A move or dealing with a seismic shift in your industry, culture is the hidden lever that often makes or breaks significant business transformations. In his debut Insights article for Transcend, Senior Executive Coach and Strategist Zant Chapelo provides practical tips for leaders on evolving culture to enable successful transformation. Having been directly involved in over 25 acquisitions and multiple business transformations, Zant shares lessons learned from first-hand experience and describes how a focus on culture in the early stages can profoundly impact the successful outcome. #leadership #culture #transformation #strategicplanning #forwardthinking #evolvingculture #fosteringculture #leadingchange #managingchange #workplaceculture #executivecoaching #ceoleadership

When a business takes on major change, this often requires leaders to lead differently and employ different, and often new, behaviors. Leadership and culture are two sides of the same coin.
