Culture is evolutionary. The culture of our family, of our house of faith, of our team, of our organization (of any kind) was built over time, one brick at a time.
The version of that culture (of whichever organization we’re thinking about) we experience today is the manifestation of the current habits in practice by the collective membership.Â
We cannot change the culture of any of those organizations with one purchase of snake oil, by excommunicating or firing one member, by occupying a new building, or by hiring a popular consultant. The likelihood of the success of any of those quick-fix strategies is the equivalent of thumping a spinner.Â
Meaningful cultural change results from the daily discipline of the members deciding which habits make us better (and doubling down on them) and which of our habits make us less (and purging them).
And, tomorrow, we do it again.Â
