Culture 101

By Penny Nesbitt

So, your company has strategised, downsized, agonised, rightsized, analysed, surveyed and more. And yet, looking at your latest results, things are still not exactly what you'd call 'humming around here'.

Chances are too, particularly if you've survived a restructure or two or three, the reasons you took your job, the strengths you loved using and getting better at are now a fond, distant memory.

What if you knew that by using some simple, practical tools, backed by scientific studies conducted over many years, you could significantly increase engagement, productivity and profit? What if you knew that by using these same tools, you could positively impact your life at work and the lives of people around you?

And what if none of this required any significant additional resources - people, time, money or an MBA?

In Culture 101: Creating places where people thrive and profits grow, Penny Nesbitt draws on over twenty five years of experience, delivering leadership, people development and culture change programs throughout Asia-Pacific.

Penny also draws on her own at times bewildering experiences, working in businesses that were often focused entirely on profit at the expense of their people. Penny noticed what numerous research studies tell us - disengagement, unhappiness, pressure to conform, inability to innovate, damaging negativity and a lack of fulfilment at work, were then, and sadly still are, at an all-time high.

And Penny wants to see that change.

Culture 101 is a practical guide for current and future leaders, human resource and learning and development professionals, career and executive coaches. It features stories from small to large, private and public sector organisations and provides practical, evidence-based tools that anyone can use.

Essentially, Culture 101 is for anyone who wants to understand how to be happier, more productive and fulfilled, working in a thriving, profitable workplace.
