At our recent #OneTeamGov lunch, I asked the question: “If we keep turning to culture as a root cause for many of the problems we face in the #GC, what steps can we take today to start improving that in our departments and agencies.” I went on to explain that we almost avoid 1/ dealing with “culture” because we acknowledge it as a major system change that not one single person or department can resolve. So, instead the issues stemming around culture continue to build and while modified solutions are introduced, the root cause continues. 2/
