"LEVERAGE The CEO’s Guide to Corporate Culture," by Business Consultant and Author John R. Childress - Publication Date 01 December 2013
London, United Kingdom, November 07, 2013 --(PR.com)-- This December, Principia Associates will publish "LEVERAGE: The CEO’s Guide to Corporate Culture" by business author John R. Childress.
This book specially written for the CEO and business leader to better understand what corporate culture is, why it matters, the impact on performance, where culture comes from, how to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of your own culture, and importantly, how to develop and sustain high performance culture. With over 35 years of experience advising CEOs and senior executive teams of global organizations, international business consultant and author John R. Childress brings to life the important elements of corporate culture including the role of leadership, approaches to culture change, culture myths, culture surveys and assessments and the role of culture in business performance and mergers & acquisitions.
The writing style is direct and to the point since CEOs and business leaders have little time to wade through consultant ‘gobblygook’ or academic text. LEVERAGE is also filled with examples and case studies that bring the topic of corporate culture to life!

In "LEVERAGE: The CEO’s Guide to Corporate Culture," John R. Childress addresses the following issues:
“In LEVERAGE you will find my views on corporate culture after 35 years of working with senior executive teams and global organizations on the role of culture and performance. Along the way I have searched for and found answers to some of the hardest culture issues:
-Do you know why most culture change programs fail?
-Do you know why Culture Statements and Value Statements do more harm than good?
-Do you know how corporate culture is built?
-Learn about one of the most successful culture changes that didn't start out as a culture change effort!
-Who in the organization has the most influence on whether a culture is functional or toxic? (most people guess wrong).
-Why do great cultures drift towards the dysfunctional?
-What is the most effective culture change methodology?
-Why most culture surveys and assessments don't really measure culture.
“For a management concept that has so much written in the press and academic journals, not to mention the several hundred books on corporate culture, even the experts can’t agree on a clear and encompassing definition. So if we can’t really define corporate culture, then what makes us think we can understand it, yet alone manage or improve it?
“This book is designed to assist the CEO, senior executive, business and government leader in developing their own understanding of corporate culture, its role in a quest for improved performance, and how to best shape, guide and lead corporate culture.” John R. Childress
