​There are tens of years of research that shows the importance of a good organizational culture, but the tricky part is that “good” has changed meaning significantly throughout the years. During the industrial era, hierarchy and rigid communication were seen as indispensable for a business to be successful. It is the young entrepreneurs all over the world who have disrupted and obligated organizations to rethink leadership and hierarchy.

A Culture Influencer™ is a person who has a deep understanding of the way people relate to each other, and the way their values contribute to the relationships they need to create with their job, bosses, coworkers and customers. 

Entrepreneurship and technology has been seriously disrupting the organizational system, to the point that even Human Resources admits the importance of treating employees like humans rather than consumable resources. However, as Deloitte reports, the gap between readiness and need for improvement is rather widening. “Business leaders gave HR a D-plus (an average of 1.32 on a five-point scale), while HR departments themselves “rated their teams the equivalent of a C-minus (an average of 1.65 on a five-point scale)”.

A Culture Influencer™ is able to listen with equal interest to employees and managers, establishes, adjusts and maintains the company culture, avoiding the conflict of interests in which HR personnel often gets entangled.
