Culture Transformation “Become intentional and equipped to Influence the Culture” With Amir Ghannad Session Overview: This session builds on the Personal Transformation curriculum to expand the participants’ impact beyond their own results to influence the culture of their organization.

The session is designed to provide a clear understanding of the characteristics of High Commitment Cultures (HCC), the practical steps in implementing culture change, and the mindset and behavior of leaders who create HCC’s. The Objective: Participants will be compelled and equipped to practice ways in which they can influence a sustainable culture transformation at their workplace. The Key Take-aways: 1. The 13 principles used in the transformation of a manufacturing plant from the worst KPIs and low morale, to the best in the company and across the industry 2. Clear understanding of the distinctions of a High Commitment Culture (HCC) 3. Insights on the mindset shifts and behavior changes necessary to be and show up as a Transformative Leader who creates an HCC 4. The 5 common reasons why culture transformations often fail to take hold 5. The 5-step process and specific actions to sustainably transform workplace culture in support of business objectives and personalized action plan developed by each participant 6.

Introduction to a simple, yet extremely effective methodology to unite the team and have them align behind a common vision for the organization Additional benefits of this session when it is conducted with natural teams: • Identification of areas of agreements and disagreement about what constitutes a healthy culture and the opportunity for discussion and alignment in the context of their specific organization. • A common language that will facilitate the process of creating a vision of the desired culture and making strategic choices that will bring it to life.
