Shaping Organisational Culture and Influencing the System with Kate Wallett
In this episode of The Art and Science of Influence , Gerald speaks with Kate Wallett, an organisational development, culture and leadership development practitioner, about how leaders at all levels can shape workplace culture when everyday behaviours don't align with an organisation's stated values. Kate explores how culture is formed through daily decisions, behaviours and workplace patterns, and why meaningful change takes more than policies or values statements. She discusses how HR can look beyond traditional people practices to uncover the assumptions and behaviours influencing how teams work, make decisions and communicate. She also shares practical ways HR can influence change by asking curious questions, facilitating honest conversations and helping leaders recognise patterns that may have become so normal they go unquestioned. For HR professionals and leaders, this conversation offers valuable insights into influencing culture from within, challenging established ways of working and creating lasting change without having to own every part of the process.
