As economic hardship and concern for the environment increasingly penetrate the global marketplace, the criteria for measuring the success of a business is evolving past the end goal of simply selling a product or service. The desired outcome of profitability is transcending further into the multi‐dimensional model known as the triple bottom line, which targets positive societal, ecological, and financial results. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) no longer revolves around risk mitigation; it lives for social innovation. This growing trend is being perpetuated and documented by social media.

Most of us will agree that culture is created by tone at the top of the organization.Jim Collins in his work Good to Great pointed out
the link between leadership and corporate culture.Leaders should know that cultures are hard to
change once entrenched. (but not impossible)It is the culture that got us where we are!

According to McKinsey and Company the answer is yes.
In a 5 year double blind global study they reported that “Operational Dynamics” have an immediate and lasting impact on the performance of the enterprise. They went on to say that a small positive change in the “Operational Dynamics” say 20% would have the same impact as a 70% increase in capital.

A famous proverb about managers doing things right and leaders doing the right things is not a prescription that recommends leaders to think only of the forest and not the trees; "instead, it is meant to define what a manager must move beyond (focusing on how to do) in order to become a leader (focusing on what to do and how to be.)

"Because this concept of serving others is an essential part of what I believe about leadership, let me offer you a list of six things I believe about leadership:
1. Leadership is not about controlling people; it's about caring for people and being a useful resource for people. 2. Leadership is not about being boss; it's about being present for people and building a community at work. 3. Leadership is not about holding on to territory; it's about letting go of your ego, bringing your spirit to work, being your best and most authentic self. 4. Leadership is less concerned with pep talks and more concerned with creating a place in which people can do good work, can find meaning in their work, and can bring their spirits to work. 5. Leadership, like life, is largely a matter of paying attention. 6. Leadership requires love.“

Accountability is the hard common theme that runs through the successful cultures that adopt servant leadership.SO IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THE SOFT STUFF!
Numbers count.Everyone understanding how the numbers count is even more impactful.Everyone being in charge of their contribution to the numbers that counts is more impactful yet.
