A book specially written for the CEO and business leader to better understand what corporate culture is, why it matters, the impact on performance, where culture comes from, how to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of your own culture, and importantly, how to develop and sustain high performance culture. With over 35 years of experience advising CEOs and senior executive teams of global organizations, international business consultant and author John R. Childress brings to life the important elements of corporate culture including the role of leadership, approaches to culture change, culture myths, culture surveys and assessments and the role of culture in business performance and mergers & acquisitions. The writing style is direct and to the point since CEOs and business leaders have little time to wade through consultant ‘gobblygook’ or academic text. LEVERAGE is also filled with examples and case studies that bring the topic of corporate culture to life!
