Changing organizational culture starts in the executive's office
WSAE's April 2014 meeting in Green Bay, where Humanize authors Jamie Notter and Maddie Grant facilitated a private discussion with the association CEOs in attendance, has really started me thinking about the unique role that the staff executive has in changing and shaping the culture of any organization.
When it was my turn to summarize my thoughts on the subject, I said that I was coming to see successful associations as those in which leadership and decision-making are not concentrated at the top, but diffused productively across many levels of the organization.

Highlights from the open forum on wsae.org
 Take advantage of your WSAE membership by posting in one of the communities on wsae.org. Not sure how to get started? View our simple instructions. Following are some recent discussions. Go online to see the responses. - We are looking for a consultant based in our region (Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago) who can come in this year and perform a CRM audit for us and make either replacement or existing system investment recommendations on a tight timeframe.
- We are in the process of doing a total "re-make/re-organization" of our Board of Directors. I am looking for any kind of resources out there to assist us. That could be in the form of a book(s), articles, links or any staff or volunteers who can offer assistance to us in the process.
- I have been reading a lot lately, about trends in leadership for 2014 and beyond. I thought it would be interesting to hear what folks are reading and talking about in their own peer groups.
