I’ve written many times over the years about the importance of properly assessing your organizational culture. All companies have a culture, but not all leaders are aware of their culture. It’s only through candid assessment that you can truly know the values and routines that drive your team and shape your business.

What happens, though, if you assess your organizational culture and aren’t pleased with your findings? It’s very creditworthy when business leaders recognize the need for change and are willing to embark on it. Of course, changing a deeply ingrained culture isn’t always easy, and you may find that there are some daunting roadblocks in place.

That’s my topic for today: What are some of the potential hurdles that keep you from effectively changing your organizational culture? Identifying those hurdles can be an important leap forward in and of itself. Here are some of the roadblocks you might need to dismantle.
