How Do High Performing CEOs Transform Corporate Culture?

In an interview with Jeffrey Feldberg, we uncovered counterintuitive strategies for driving breakthroughs and transforming culture. In business, all organizations are limited by knowledge, technology and mindset. For example, in the early 80s, Steve Jobs introduced a device called the Newton. As revolutionary as it was, it failed. It did not fail because it was a bad idea nor did it fail because he was ahead of his time. The mindset of those around him could not see the need for the Newton. Today the iPad is the advanced version of the Newton. All companies have a new possibility that can be created. However, the mindsets of vendors, staff and management may not see it as a viable product or service. This is where transforming culture becomes essential. People's limiting beliefs are shaped by society or childhood experiences. In the case of the Newton, most people could not see consumers purchasing a computer that would fit in the palm of your hand. At the time, most people did not have a computer in their home or on their desk at work. Steve Jobs was making a leap so far most could not see it. What stops people from seeing those kinds of quantum leaps or paradigm shifts is mindset. In this video, we dive into how mindset can be shaped by society or past experiences. We also explored the most important strategy to effectively transform culture. Do not miss my series of videos on the Disruptive Leadership Model.
