The tragic losses involving Boeing's 737 Max aircraft remind us that company culture is not just a buzzword—it's a critical component of organizational success and safety.

In a compelling piece by Phil Boucher for Fortune, he highlights how Boeing’s shift from a safety-first culture to one prioritizing profits has had devastating consequences. Cynthia Cole, a former Boeing engineer, notes this transformation began after the company acquired McDonnell Douglas in 1997, leading to a culture where safety concerns often went unheard.

So, what can we learn from Boeing's missteps?

1️⃣ Culture Management is Essential: Companies should treat culture management as a vital skill for all leaders to ensure employee concerns are addressed promptly.

2️⃣ Raise Ethical Concerns: In crisis situations, it's crucial to speak up and promote change.

3️⃣ Mission Matters: A strong mission can help realign a company's culture—Boeing must return to its foundational motto that emphasizes protection.

The Boeing case serves as a stark reminder that neglecting company culture can lead to disastrous outcomes. Let’s prioritize fostering a safe and collaborative environment in our workplaces!
