What is an "open culture"
An open culture helps to foster positivity, which can bring in
clear thinking, a long-term view and innovation, but also empathy
for each other, all of which can push a business forward.
“Fundamentally, culture is the behavior of
management,” writes Chris Hirst for Fast Company. “Too
often, people accept change needs to happen, but believe it's
someone else that needs to behave differently to make it a reality.
What you do as a manager, not what you say, is what really counts.
Only your actions and leading by example will bring about a change
in the way your whole organisation behaves.” Again, Willis
Towers Watson employee research highlights this as an area of
concern with only 64% of UK employees believing that senior leaders
act in a way consistent with the company's values.
