According to Sethi Deepak’s “Seven R Model”, the following seven elements can help:

1️⃣Respect: a sincere belief that people at all levels of the organization have unique contributions to make.

2️⃣Responsibility and resources: employees perform best when they have a discrete and well-defined area of responsibility and the resources needed to make it successful.

3️⃣Risk-taking: mistakes have to be viewed as opportunities for lessons rather than career-ending triggers.

4️⃣Rewards and recognition: talented, hardworking employees should receive both monetary rewards and recognition of a job well done.

5️⃣Relationships: when people on all levels get to know one another in a respectful and benevolent way and get to understand one another’s strengths, shortcomings, hopes, dreams, and fears, a context is established in which trust can flourish, as mutual and meaningful feedback is given and received.

6️⃣Role modeling: managers walk the talk by acting rather than “speechifying”.

7️⃣Renewal: a culture that promotes organizational learning at all levels results in the expanded consciousness needed for renewal.

While there are many aspects beyond this Seven R model that influence culture, it cannot be denied that in today’s day and age culture plays a vital role in the success of an organization as it affects the way people interact with each other, how they approach their work, and the decisions they make.
