The Leadership Culture Connection
 
      True leaders are those who transform, shape and influence an organisation’s culture. Sustaining the culture, such as the organisational context of staff - the way they interact with each other and approach their work - must come from those in leadership positions.

Dr Cooke presented ground breaking research into leadership with the explanation of the Leadership/Impact Report and showed how organisational culture can now be directly linked to financial as well as other indicators of organisational performance.

Government organisational cultures are a league of their own. Does your organisational culture make you an “employer of choice”? Does it attract high achievers? Does it support the pursuit of excellence?

Dr Cooke examined an ideal culture for accountability in government from his extensive experience in the USA federal arena. What are we aiming for in terms of culture in such organisations? Does culture matter? What shapes and infl uences culture in this environment? How should the cultures of the public sector be different to those of the private sector, if at all?
