Cultural accountability

Winners hate to lose but are not afraid of failure as they understand that fear prevents us from attempting the very things that lead to success. In organisations, cultural architects embody this mindset, they are the leaders who drive progress and inspire others to move forward. In contrast, cultural prisoners are the naysayers who focus on obstacles and why something cannot be done rather than finding solutions. Reflecting on your organisation, how many people would you identify as cultural architects, and how many as cultural prisoners?
