6. #1 - It Is Going to be Difficult
“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more
perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success
than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order
of things, because the innovator has for enemies, all of
those who have done well under the old conditions,
and luke-warm defenders in those who will do well
under the new.” Machiavelli

the

15. #5 – A Country’s Culture IS NOT the Issue
The elements are
universally
applicable!
16. #6 – Culture is the Key
How many of you have
ever been told that to
improve we need to
change the
organization’s culture?
17. #6 – Culture is the Key
How many of you actually
understood what was
meant
by that statement?
18. #6 – Culture is the Key
“A pattern of shared assumptions
and behaviors that an organization
learned as it solved its problems
and that has worked well enough to
be considered valid and, therefore,
to be taught to new members as the
correct way to perceive, think, and feel
in relation to those problems.”
