The 10 Good to Great Companies (Jim Collins)
The seven characteristics Collins identified in the so-called Good to Great companies, on their own, are not sufficient for long-term success. Focusing on the needs of your employees
and the culture of the company are more important.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR AND OTHER COMPANIES IS THEY CARE ABOUT THE NEEDS OF THEIR EMPLOYEES– THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT THEIR EMPLOYEES VALUE.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com
12
UNDERSTANDING EMPLOYEE’S NEEDS—what people value (what makes them happy and brings meaning to their lives) —is the key to creating a high performing organisation.
When you support employees in satisfying their needs, they respond with high levels of employee engagement—they bring their commitment and creativity to their work, and unleash their discretionary energy. They willingly go the extra mile to support the organisation in meeting its goals.
IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTURE THEN YOU NEED TO CARE ABOUT WHAT
YOUR EMPLOYEES VALUE.

AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME, the values that are most important to us are a reflection of our unmet basic needs (deficiency needs), and the growth needs associated with the stage of psychological development
we have reached.
Our needs (what we value) have always been, and always will be the principal drivers of our behaviors and actions.
What motivates us is the satisfaction of our needs.

Happiness
YOU FEEL HAPPY when you are able to meet your basic needs (deficiency needs), but you feel anxious or fearful when you are prevented from meeting these needs or when the satisfaction of these needs is under threat—when you lose a job, when you lose a friend or a close companion or when you feel people do not respect you.
Happiness is the feeling you get when you achieve internal stability and external equilibrium at the ego level of existence—when you are able to
satisfy your basic (deficiency) needs.

18
Meaning
THE ABILITY TO MEET your growth needs engenders a deeper feeling than happiness, and consequently a deeper level of motivation and commitment to the satisfaction of these needs. You experience joy and contentment when you are able to satisfy your growth needs because you are experiencing a deeper sense of alignment.
You are discovering your authentic (soul) self and finding meaning and purpose for your life.
Joy and contentment are the feelings you get when you are able to satisfy your growth needs.

THE CULTURE OF AN ORGANISATIONAL is a reflection of leadership consciousness—the stage of psychological development that the leaders have reached.
ORGANISATIONAL TRANSFORMATION begins with the personal transformation of the leaders. Organisations don’t transform; people do.
MEASUREMENT MATTERS: Whatever you measure (focus your attention on a regular basis ) tends to improve.

What is Cultural Entropy?
The amount of energy in an organisational culture that is consumed in doing unproductive work—work that does not add value.
It is a measure of the conflict, friction and frustration that exists in an organisation due to potentially limiting values such as: bureaucracy, blame, power, greed … (self-interest)
Cultural entropy is a function of the personal entropy of the current leaders of an organisation and the institutional legacy of past leaders as embedded in the structures,
systems, policies and procedures.
Cultural Entropy In Organisations
Entropy Impact <10% Prime: Healthy Culture: This is a low and healthy level of cultural entropy.

What is Personal Entropy?
Personal entropy is the amount of fear-driven energy that a person expresses in his or her day-to-day interactions
with other people.
It is a measure of a lack of a person’s lack of personal mastery skills.
Fear-driven energy arises from the conscious and subconscious fear-based beliefs of the ego about meeting its deficiency needs.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com
50
Fear-Based Beliefs
Level 3: Self-esteem Consciousness: Limiting beliefs the individual holds about not being enough – a lack of self-esteem or confidence in themselves that causes them to over compensate through the excessive use of power, authority, or status seeking.
Level 2: Relationship Consciousness: Limiting beliefs the individual holds about not belonging – a lack of acceptance or respect for themselves that causes them to over compensate by competing for attention, blaming others, and standing in judgement.
Level 1: Survival Consciousness: Limiting beliefs the individual holds about not having enough – a lack of assurance that they will be safe and survive that causes them to over compensate through greediness, control, and excessive caution.

Entropy reduced or stayed the same every year. Entropy reduction led to improved performance through increased employee engagement—increased revenues, productivity, share price, etc.
Working toward entropy of 10% will result in healthy functioning of the organisation and improved staff morale.

Democracy Index Cultural Entropy
One might expect nations with a high democracy index to have low cultural entropy, but they do not. Some of the lowest levels of cultural entropy have been measured in nations classified by the EIU as authoritarian regimes.
Conclusion: There is no relationship between level of democracy and cultural entropy.

WHAT CULTURAL ENTROPY ISN’T CONNECTED TO:
CULTURAL ENTROPY is not related to the level of democracy (EIU Democracy Index).
CULTURAL ENTROPY is not related to the level of development (UN Human Development Index).
CULTURAL ENTROPY is not related to size of country. You can live in a full liberal democracy with an advanced level of development in a small or large country and still experience high levels of cultural entropy.
Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com
85
WHAT CULTURAL ENTROPY REPRESENTS:
CULTURAL ENTROPY is a direct reflection of the character and quality of leadership of an organisation, community or nation, and the amount of care and attention leaders give to meeting the needs of the people in their organisation, community or nation.
Low entropy signifies that people’s needs are being met. High entropy signifies that people’s needs are not being met.
