Counting the dance steps

Our business leaders like to think they're in control. The constantly growing litany of corporate scandals confirms that they are not, and when bad things happen, customers, employees and wider society all suffer. In response we have built a narrative that says that while culture is to blame, it is a hidden force which is unfathomably complex, intangible and virtually impossible to quantify or manage. Nothing is further from the truth. In this book, Andrew Cocks draws on twenty years' experience working with some of our biggest employers to challenge everything you have heard about corporate culture. Counting the Dance Steps will introduce you to a simple and practical framework for the successful measurement and management of culture through the collective creation of workplaces where behaviours which build inclusion, innovation and effective risk management can thrive. The need to proactively manage culture change is one of the most pressing business priorities of our time, and one that we simply cannot continue to get so catastrophically wrong.
