Afternoon Keynote: Ignite Culture – The Antidote to Strategic Gridlock
Speaker: Margaret Graziano, Chief Evangelist at KeenAlignment, Author & Coach

You may have heard this quote from management guru Peter Drucker, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”

Here’s what he didn’t say, but that you probably know from experience… “An entangled culture eats your leadership team for lunch and your CEO for dinner.”
This is because the harder an organization pushes strategies on an entangled culture, the more it rebels and the more entangled it becomes – we call this “strategic gridlock”.

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. And it won’t be this way when you have an Emergent Culture, the antidote to strategic gridlock.

Attendees will walk away with the following culture-building skills:

Clarity on the 4 core needs of an Emergent Culture
How to spot the 3 biggest “cultural torpedoes” that elude most leaders
How to foster a peak performing culture that breeds trust, alignment, and accountability… without cracking the whip or allowing free-for-all behavior
