Culture is often referred to in construction terms, such as \"Let's build our culture,\" or \"We need to lay a solid foundation for culture.\" Culture doesn't work that way. It's an organic process. Culture is grown, not built. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSeeds of Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, author Dan Bredeson discusses \u003cbr\u003e -how an organization's culture affects performance, \u003cbr\u003e -the six traits of successful \"culture farmers\" (i.e., leaders), \u003cbr\u003e -the seven \"seeds\" that will grow into a culture of commitment, \u003cbr\u003e -and how leaders should cultivate those seeds throughout their life cycle. \u003cbr\u003e Many organizations have a culture which seeks compliance instead of commitment. Performance improves when members of the organization go the extra mile because they want to, not because they have to. \u003ci\u003eSeeds of Culture\u003c\/i\u003e outlines how to improve performance by growing a culture of commitment. This leads to a sense of community and an environment in which team members show up, work hard, and care about each other and the organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenleaf Book Group Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798886451009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 5.86w x 0.81d","brand":"Dan Bredeson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43180759777461,"sku":"9798886451009","price":22.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e5c4cb70-7649-4794-8c3e-d9fee0c705f5.jpg?v=1697518904","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/seeds-of-culture-improve-organizational-performance-by-growing-a-culture-of-commitment-9798886451009","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
