Why this topic matters

Most change efforts fail because the diagnosis was wrong, not because the plan was bad. People act on how an organisation looks on paper, not how it actually works. The more senior you are, the easier it is to misread a new place through the habits of the last one. Reading culture is not a formula you apply; it is something you practise. I will show how you read effectively to lead change well.
