What are your tips for influencing an ineffective work culture? I’m 8 months in at a company and am learning that most leaders don’t seek to fix the root cause of the many issues the company faces. I’ve tried my best to offer solutions and volunteer for projects, but each department is so siloed, it’s going to take major initiative from multiple teams to right size the business. I’m a Manager, but don’t have the authority to make major changes. Has anyone else experienced this?

I understand your issues. Often, company’s culture is driven from top down. Only project based or employee led initiatives can overturn some of the silos: assembling a cross functional team that are driven by the same purpose or vision can help demonstrate what a culture of highgh engagement and collaboration can do.
Unfortunately, on your own, it will be a very difficult task but if you manage to successfully lead a project based on your own vision, you might be able to make some difference. If not at organisational level, at the very least operational.

My advice: find your cheerleader group of peers or the influencers and agent of changes, maybe they would want to contribute and rally to your vision of a collaborative and positive culture. You strike me as someone with high values, and I applaud your tenacity. But, sometimes, there are politics and arrogance in place, and don't be surprised that no matter what you are doing, you won't bulge these people.

I work for a company that has built a SaaS uniquely devoted to enable a culture of high performers. The business principles that underpin the whole platform are designed to build team alignment, focus, collaboration and accountability. By listening to our customers, we find out that most successful 'management reset' happens at exec level (check our case study here - the CFO (now CEO) was given the very difficult task to align his 12 executives.... it wasn't a small feast. https://www.workfacta.com/case-study-thomas-foods/ )

I feel I'm a minority in corporate culture. I came from public school up to Uni years where only few of my peers reached managerial level or even good positions. I reached out to a high schoolmate and saw she got the lowest rank in the company despite 10+ year experience. I have hard time connecting with peers who have a more upscale background. I also feel an imposter since I dont have the stereotype background of a manager --- rich, smart, cool etc. How do I deal with these insecurities?
