There are two types of organizations: those that lead their industry and those that don’t. In both types, their culture enables exactly the results they are achieving.

Your culture is either the accelerator that propels you to succeed in a hyper-competitive world, or it is the anchor that holds you back. You can become the standard by which your competitors are measured when you stop being dragged down by the anchor of a faulty culture.

Great companies succeed in good times and tough times for one simple reason – they sustain a culture that provides a competitive advantage.

For over 20 years, Randy Pennington has shown organizations of all shapes, sizes, and industries how to develop and sustain a culture that delivers positive results. Your leaders can gain that wealth of practical experience.  Randy not only shows you how to create a compelling culture, but gives real-world examples of people and companies who excel at getting results.

This program equips your leaders with the seven levers for creating a culture where everyone is committed to achieving organizational goals. After completion, they will have the tools they need to:

• Create and reinforce commitment to a common set of unifying values that drives actionable performance and behavior toward meaningful results.
• Build and sustain strong teams where everyone appreciates the opportunity to help you succeed.
