Cultures of Excellence - Volume 1
Models of Constructive Leadership and Organisational Performance - Lou Tice
Culture
'A set of attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviours shared by a group of people, communicated from one generation to the next via language or some other means of communication.'
- Robert J.Sternberg, Yale University
Culture is the linch-pin upon which an organization rises or falls. In Cultures of Excellence, the history and effects of culture through the years are explored, as well as the presentation of a dozen client success stories written by the clients themselves. Edited by Lou Tice, M.A. and Glenn Terrell, Ph.D.
'Culture seems to be the primary driver of an organisation's success. Those collective attitudes, beliefs and accepted behaviours have more to do with the future success of a group, team or organisation than any process. Elevate the culture and you elevate the performance.'
- Lou Tice, Chairman, The Pacific Institute Inc
'We often do not profit from our theoretical successes because we lack effective translational and social diffusion models. The Pacific Institute provides these essential ingredients. Lou Tice is masterful in translating theory into effective organisational practice. Those who have had the benefit of his programs testify, in this volume, to the transformational changes they were able to achieve through the enabling guidance of The Pacific Institute.'
