As an Outsider, How to Make an Impact on Company Culture
summary
Consultant approach centers on concrete moves: identify unsung heroes who know the organizational terrain and act as catalysts, bring a map while they navigate, and use peacocking to tactfully show past wins rather than condemn legacy systems. Handle pushback with one-on-one listening to gather feedback, convert skeptics into champions, run regular check-ins and feedback loops, adapt incrementally, celebrate small wins, and iterate until the new practices actually stick and start delivering demonstrable value.
