Careful cultural interventions can impart beliefs about collaboration that become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Leo Tolstoy, the Russian novelist, famously wrote, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” Tolstoy’s dictum is a useful starting point for any executive engaged in organizational change. After years of collaborating in efforts to advance the practice of leadership and cultural transformation, we’ve become convinced that organizational change is inseparable from individual change. Simply put, change efforts often falter because individuals overlook the need to make fundamental changes in themselves.

If technology has transformed how companies interact with customers, can it do more to revolutionize their relationships with the workforce? After all, workers share the same basic marketing-funnel journey: We consider opportunities, evaluate potential companies, commit to working for an organization, and the company then either earns our trust and loyalty, or we seek a better opportunity. Yet, if digital strategies are not thoughtfully implemented, rather than encouraging deeper engagement with organizations, in many cases the opposite happens.
