cution.
“If we want to change the culture, what should be our next question?”
One member of the team asked in response, “How should the culture be changed?” A second member said, “make it better.” Then someone asked ”From what to what?” and the light bulb went on.
The CEO divided the team into groups of six and asked each to find ten pairs of “from what to what.”
…the leader team The teams agreed that improving accountability would be the most important change. “where does that begin?” …the answer was: “With this team.” Then the leader asked, “Are you willing to hold each of us accountable?”
The final question was: “After we change our group’s behavior, what do we do next?” The head of HR said, “communicate it to twenty thousand people.”
After we hold ourselves accountable, the next phase is for this team to hold the three hundred managers in this division accountable for their performance, without which three thousand supervisors and seventeen thousand employees will not experience the culture and discipline of execution.”
Operationalizing Culture We don’t think ourselves into a new way of acting, we act ourselves into a new way of thinking.
New EDB Beliefs • We are committed to our clients’ success. • Collaboration is the key to our success. • We are going to be accountable and committed. • We will be better listeners to our clients.
Linking Rewards to Performance The foundation of changing behavior is linking rewards to performance and making the linkages transparent. A business’s culture defines what gets appreciated and respected and, ultimately, rewarded. It tells the people in the organization what’s valued and recognized, and in the interest of trying to make their own careers more successful, that’s where they will concentrate.
At EDS, Dick Brown moved quickly to make sure the performers got rewarded more than the non performers.
“There were no negative consequences for poor performance,” recalled one executive. “Not only no consequences, but if you were part of the good old boy network, there really wasn’t accountability for negative behavior toward the company.” Added another, “It was always somebody else’s problem.”
…if you’re staying the same, you’re falling behind.
The Social Software of Execution The inability to act decisively—which translates into an inability to execute—is rooted in the corporate culture and seems to employees to be impervious to change.
The key word here is “seems,” because, in fact, leaders create a culture of indecisiveness, and leaders can break it.
Structure divides an organization into units designed to perform certain jobs.
A key component of software is what we call Social Operating mechanisms.
GE’s highly developed Social Operating System is central to the company’s success. Its main social Operating Mechanisms include the Corporate Executive Council (CEC),
which meets quarterly; Session C, the annual leadership and organizational reviews; S-1 and S-2, the strategy and operating reviews; and Boca, an annual meeting in Boca Raton, Florida, where operating managers meet to plan the coming year’s initiatives and relaunch current initiatives.
At CEC meetings, which run two and a half days, GE’s roughly thirty-five top leaders review all aspects of their businesses and the external environment, identify the company’s greatest opportunities and problems, and share best practices. The CEO also uses the forum to observe how his leaders think and how they work together, and to coach them.
A Session C meeting is an intense eight-to-ten-hour gathering where the CEO and head of HR meet with the business leaders top HR executives of each business unit. They review the unit’s prospective talent pool and its organizational priorities. Does GE have the right people in the right jobs to execute its strategies? Who needs to be promoted or rewarded, who needs help with development, who can’t handle the job?
…picking and evaluating people has become a core competence at GE.
The S-1 strategy meeting takes place toward the end of the second quarter. Here the CEO, CFO, and members of the office of the CEO meet with each unit head and his or her team to discuss the strategy for the next three years, including the initiatives agreed upon by the CEC and the fit between the strategy and the people in charge of executing it.
The sj-2 meeting, held in November, is the operating plan meeting that focuses more on the coming twelve to fifteen months, linking strategy to operational priorities and resource allocation.
We don’t expect people to know everything, but we do expect people to get the best answers they can get, and they get them by working with other people.
The Importance of Robust Dialogue You cannot have an execution culture without robust dialogue.
Robust dialogue starts when people go in with open minds. They’re not trapped by preconceptions or armed with a private agenda. They want to hear new information and choose the best alternatives,
