Values-Based Culture Transformation

When legendary management consultant and writer Peter Drucker said, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast," he didn't mean that strategy was unimportant – rather that a powerful and empowering culture was critical to empowering people to achieve and sustain organizational success.

Recognizing this, METStrategies for Leadership has increasingly incorporated values-based culture transformation into its coaching and consulting services.  

Leadership Values 

Leaders who are in command of their values act authentically, with integrity, and in the interest of the greater good. Leadership and culture are inextricably linked such that, organizational culture is shaped by the values, beliefs, and behaviors of current leaders and the legacy of past leaders. Culture change, therefore is an intentional process that takes place with care and over time. 

We are certified to offer a variety of advanced tools developed by Barrett Values Center. These tools are supported by decades of research and designed for individual leaders, boards, and teams to identify and explore their personal values, current organizational culture, and optimal organizational culture.  With data in hand, we can quantify how your leadership team is doing according to internal and external observers. 

Organizational Culture

Organizational culture is fundamental to long-term success and sustainable mission delivery. Everything starts with activating the full potential and productivity of your people through increased engagement and values-alignment with the work. Higher employee satisfaction, greater efficiency, and lower staff turnover are just some of the benefits when you create an intentional and affirmative focus on culture. In fact, a Columbia University study found that the likelihood of job turnover at an organization with a positive culture is just 13.9%, versus the 48.4% probability of job turnover in a company with poor culture. 

METStrategies for Leadership offers assessment tools and culture transformation processes, to guide efforts to identify positive and potentially limiting values that are affecting your organization’s culture. We will work with you to design a plan to create a high-performance culture characterized by:  

• Shared vision
• Inspiring mission
• Values centered and values-aligned
• Empowered workforce
