Culture eats strategy for breakfast, myth or reality? With Jason Langford-Brown

from The Authentic Advisor · host Mindshop

Can a business get away with operational deficiencies if they're run by a passionate group of people? Jason Langford-Brown shares his experience as a senior business advisor and coach as to whether culture is a bigger contributor to success than a winning strategy (as the well-known aphorism suggests).  Do most organisations have an accidental culture? How is it businesses with seemingly toxic cultures still succeed?  Jason and James Mason discuss what problems arise if a business holds onto staff that don't align with core values and how culture can be fit for purpose, ultimately posing the question, 'can culture be too perfect?'     Time Codes  00:00:42 Jason's background and business advisory journey.  00:02:27 Is culture a bigger contributor to success than a winning strategy?  00:04:54 Can you succeed with an amazing culture but poor strategy?  00:06:17 Can having a deep passion for what you do compensate for a lack of execution?  00:07:24 What are the keys to a high performing culture?  00:10:26 Is culture the fashionable silver bullet?  00:12:13 Poor performance v bad behaviour.  00:13:22 What are the first steps an advisor should take with a client when addressing culture and strategy?  00:19:17 Aligning core values throughout an organisation.  00:20:32 Can a culture be too perfect?  00:23:22 Does culture eat strategy for breakfast?
