Developing a Positive Culture

Marcella does an excellent job of explaining the key elements of organizational culture and how to make it more positive. She has produced among the most comprehensive and useful descriptions of approaches to culture diagnosis and change that have been published. An important strength of this book is its breadth in referencing and clearly explaining a wide variety of approaches to influencing culture and implementing positive practices.

From neuroscience to social movements, from interpersonal response types to meeting agendas, from liberating structures to types of positive questions: this diversity serves to provide leaders, consultants, and change agents with multiple alternatives for influencing a positive organizational culture.

There is lots of talk about the importance of creating a positive organizational culture, but relatively little talk about how to achieve it in reality. Marcella Bremer's new book, "Developing a Positive Culture Where People and Performance Thrive" is a thorough and useful compilation of resources, ideas and tools for building and sustaining a positive culture. The book is brimming with wisdom and inspiration. It is a highly valuable resource for leaders and change agents in any kind of organization who care about making positive culture a reality.

Often writing about cultural change is long on conceptual frameworks but falls short when it comes to tactical guidance. This one covers the whole spectrum in ways few others do. This is a resource you’ll refer to over and over.

In an era where disengagement is rampant in the workplace, Bremer shines a light on an emerging story of hope and possibility. If you’re looking for a researched, holistic approach to creating a thriving organization, check out this book.

This book comes from an experienced practitioner who understands the issues and challenges of change, and it covers all the bases including a solid review of the theory, research and relevant models; real-life illustrative examples; the best guiding and reflective questions we’ve ever seen; and, practical applications that individuals and organizations of any size can undertake right away. And the best thing about the book? Marcella Bremer is a masterful writer whose work is a pleasure to read.

Reading Developing a Positive Culture where People and Performance Thrive is like having the great thought leaders in the field of leadership and organizational culture in one room together so the reader may benefit from their wisdom.

I would highly recommend this training to all individuals who take pride in presenting themselves as change agents and who want to make a contribution to society by helping organizations get to the next level.

Marcella Bremer knows culture. Her work over the years with OCAI has been prodigious and now coupling that with positive leadership takes the study and practice of culture to a new level.

Every C-suite should be encouraged to pause, read this book and then consciously decide how they want their company's culture to be. The second part of the book is a very valuable "how to" discussion that adds tremendous power to the "what is" opening salvo. Bravo.

Organizational Culture Change

In getting myself educated on the complex topic of Culture, one of the first books I read was “Organizational Culture Change” by Marcella Bremer. It was and still is one of the BEST pieces on this topic. I strongly recommend this book to anyone (and especially the C Suite) astute enough to know that “something has to change around here”.
During my 40 year “corporate career”, I experienced eight different corporate cultures, ranging from toxic to negative to empowering. I wish I had read Marcella’s book about 35 years ago – unfortunately about 30 years before she wrote it.
Michael Wolf, Principal Consultant CulturLogix

Culture change has always been a topic like psychology – people know of it and respect it, but often feel it’s too risky to fix themselves. With this new book, Bremer gives us a practical guide, like a cook book, for successfully creating the exact culture an organization needs to be as successful as it can be. I highly recommend this book!
Jeffrey Levy , President Janusian Insights

Marcella’s book has captured the true essence of managing and driving sustainable culture change for all areas of a company’s life cycle. It’s insightful and written in a way that practioner’s can understand and apply. And since it’s theoretical framework has credibility and validity, one doesn’t need to wonder if it will work. Thanks for the great read Marcella!

This in an excellent book  with an unusual achievement: solid foundations and logic together with practical implications, all in one. The book is packed with ideas and ‘applications’ and in every page there is something not just to read but to reflect and imagine ‘the translation’ in a particular organizational challenge. There is a very solid model behind, of course, but one could read and learn ‘above and beyond the particular model’. Many people interested Employee Engagement will also find the book very useful and hopefully will draw conclusions about the need to switch to a bottom-up, grass roots, small groups, activism model as we orchestrate in our Viral Change™ programmes. I am sure there will be a second and third edition and most likely a great deal of conversations triggered by this excellent piece of work.

An easy to read, pragmatic book with best practices, business cases and an interesting overview of culture profiles from industry groups all over the world from the OCAI online database. This book focuses on the power of human behaviors in the workplace – a viewpoint that goes easily unnoticed in our (too) busy days at work. Even when you’re not a change consultant or manager, it may help gain awareness to notice the behaviors that make the difference. In my opinion this book can be used for many fields of work, including health care.

“Organizational culture Change” is a highly readable book on culture change within organizations. It provides a pragmatic structure with which managers and consultants can start from scratch. The book is well illustrated with case examples and a fascinating topic on the 21st century workplace. Written from the heart, it should be read by any professional in organizational culture and change management.
