Counting the Dance Steps
Rethinking how we measure and change organisational cultures for the good of all
by Andrew Cocks
Think you’ve got a grip on corporate culture? Think again. ‘The Culture Code: Unmasking Corporate Mythology’ by Andrew Cocks lays bare the often-misunderstood concept, offering a fresh and lucid perspective drawn from two decades of hands-on experience with leading organisations. Dispelling the common belief that culture is an impenetrable, intangible force beyond managerial influence, this eye-opening book challenges the status quo in corporate thinking.
Corporate scandals and governance issues continue to proliferate, highlighting a lack of control and ethical lapses at the top tiers of business. Rather than adding to the chorus blaming ‘corporate culture’ as a mysterious, unmanageable culprit, Cocks proposes an actionable blueprint for culture assessment and improvement. Forget about enlisting pricey consultants—this book arms you with a straightforward framework to foster an environment where inclusion, innovation, and astute risk management are cultivated from within.
As companies grapple with ever-increasing complexity and social scrutiny, proactively shaping organisational culture has never been more crucial. ‘The Culture Code’ is an indispensable guide for business leaders and professionals eager to tackle this urgent task head-on, equipping them with the tools to steer their organisations toward sustained success and ethical integrity.
