Organizational cultures are difficult enough to understand and evolve. What about the culture of an entire nation. How do you try to understand that complexity? How do you try evolve that for the unprecedented times we’re living in?

We invest billions annually on reviewing and refreshing our corporate values. Like any placebo might that investment be better spent by focusing on behaviours, connections, emotions and better leaders.

While we know the benefits of tolerance and diversity, those efforts have sadly lost momentum. At the same time, most organizations often fail to look at the behaviours they tolerate. We need to do better. We need to do both.
