Culture and innovation evangelist Daniel Strode has pioneered the eight essential traits of successful companies which every organisation can embed deep into their company culture in these disruptive times. The author of the recently released book, The Culture Advantage: Empowering Your People To Drive Innovation, says that rather than compensation and benefits, leaders should focus on culture design of a company, which is far more important today.
The emergence of newer technology might have left many leaders in a difficult position, where they are trying to keep pace with the constantly evolving world of work. But for Strode, even though technology has been the reason behind a lot of skills change, when it comes to learning, he feels it is actually an aid. In an exclusive interview with People Matters, he shares the need for a growth mindset to bring about change, why a leader needs to be a listener first and doer later, the unconventional paths to harnessing the power of technology to design better L&D strategies, and why each one of us should turn the conversation away from ‘should we do something’ to ‘let us try it and see what happens’.
In your book, The Culture Advantage, you have decoded the innovation puzzle as a way to futureproof business. How can organisations and leaders build a culture of learning in today’s disruptive times?
