Corporate Culture: 
"How it can manifest itself into people who fail"
Most former executives will tell you that the reason they left their previous positions was that the cultures of the organizations had changed to such degrees that they couldn’t support the directions being taken. This topic will explore:
-
Why that perspective is so prevalent
-
Why the changing of corporate culture inevitably is perceived as unhealthy and unsupportive.
-
How corporations have ransomed their cultures for the sake of political correctness.
-
How corporations can re-establish their cultures to obtain broad-base internal and external support and achieve performance expectations.
Key Speaker: Maxie Carpenter
Former Vice President of Human Resources for Wal-Mart Stores, retiring after a 27-year career.
