Meredith Wilson's 'Shift: Everyday actions for leaders to shift culture' simplifies workplace culture with a focus on actionable steps. This practical guide enables leaders to shape, shift, and strengthen workplace cultures through everyday actions.

 

'Shift' demystifies organisational culture, without being stuffy or fluffy. Using everyday language and removing unnecessary complexity, Shift makes culture doable for leaders at all levels.

 

This valuable handbook provides leaders a formula for culture: Moments that Matter x Leader Behaviours = Culture. Meredith makes the intangible, tangible with her GRASS acronym, highlighting the five moments that matter most in culture: Gatherings, Rituals, Actions, Symbols and Stories. Each GRASS element is unpacked with real-life examples, practical insights, and a range of experiments to action in the workplace.

 

'Shift' guides leaders on how to reshape, refine, and reinforce the culture within their teams and organisations. From subtle gestures to significant initiatives, Meredith shows leaders and organisations how to grow and sustain cultures that work.

 

Drawing from over two decades of executive experience, including advising and mentoring Executives and Boards on culture, Meredith distils her expertise into this practical handbook.

 

'Shift' acts as a catalyst for leaders wanting to impact the culture of their teams and organisations. Whether you're a seasoned executive or a newly appointed team leader, this book helps you grow cultures that work.

Industry Reviews

"Meredith Wilson pushes through where other culture books stop. At the point of providing tips for actions leaders could take, she shifts gears into building momentum, creating a flywheel for culture wrangling that allows organisations to harness their uniqueness."

Callum McKirdy, Author, Coach & Advocate Different Thinking

 

"Few people have studied organisational culture as exhaustively as Meredith Wilson. If you're leading change, transformation, a movement or a revolution, Shift should be required reading."

Dan Gregory, Co-Founder, The Behaviour Report

 

"This book has the unique feel of a coaching session with a leadership coach; it's a practical, actionable, enjoyable conversation. Shift helps make culture tangible for leaders and provides a blueprint to leverage everyday actions for impact. In a competitive talent market, it is a must-read for leaders wanting to create a competitive advantage through culture."

Andrea McDonald, u&u Recruitment

 

"Shift is such a relevant book for right now. Things need to change; organisations need to update how they operate and treat their people and ensure that their culture is fit for the future of work. It can be complicated. If they choose to do nothing, it's at their peril. Good people are drawn to great cultures. I love how Meredith demystifies culture and breaks it down for us. 'Cultures are caught, not taught.' Absolutely! Do you think you have a cultural issue? This is the book to help you figure that out."

Emma McQueen, Business Mentor and Coach

 

"Culture is your day job". One of many straight-talking and high impact gems from Meredith's book Shift. Finally, someone has written a book on culture that cuts through the jargon and applies to organisations big and small. Every leader should read this book and apply its wisdom pronto."

Belinda Brosnan, Executive Coach, Author and Leadership Change Agent

 

"Too many books on culture serve too much Kool-Aid to be practical and useful. In Shift, Meredith provides leaders (and everyone else!) with real, useful and important actions and models to undertake. My teams and I have benefited from the wisdom within, and you can too. Feel the GRASS. Take up the OAR. Make culture actionable."

David French, Accenture
