CEO’s and other leaders don’t acknowledge the poor performers and the reasons for their performance, poor recruitment methods and a lack of culture within the organisation. Additionally organisations lack the responsibility and interest to acknowledge the top performers and developing them to rise to the top, but also develop and retaining the B performers (Micheals et al., 2001).

When changing a company’s organizational culture may goes well Changes in technology, the markets, societal values, workplace dynamics and the global economy have all contributed to creating an external environment that is constantly on the move, unpredictable and often devastating for companies that are unprepared or unable to respond accordingly.
