The Power of Culture: Driving Today’s Organisation

Want to know how to approach and implement cultural initiatives?

The Power of Culture presents an overview of the concept of organisational culture, its management and leadership implications, and its practical application. It explores the skills managers need to assess, comprehend, integrate and manage culture and how to turn the soft, people stuff into a competitive advantage.

This new book contains eight chapters written by leading practitioners in the field, including Anne Riches, on topics ranging from cultural change, to cultural motivation, using humour to drive culture and succession planning. The theme underpinning all chapters is the crucial role of the manager in leading and shaping the culture of the organisation.

This book is the fifth in the successful Management Today series. They are designed for people who need good information fast. They don’t have to be read from cover to cover but can be dipped into as you want to.
