The attitude and work culture of employees must be changed to create a constructive and productive organisational culture.

generate a self-motivated, highly productive and immensely satisfied workforce.
That naturally results in better employee retention, increased productivity and excellent customer service.
A strong leadership is needed to bring a culture change plan to its successful fulfillment.
According to the famous Kouzes and Posner leadership survey, a leader with these qualities can be said to be an able leader:
Model the way (lead by example).
Inspire a shared vision (make your goal their goal).
Challenge the process (work to change redundant processes and policies).
Enable others to act (give them responsibility and resources).
Encourage the heart (motivate them to be positive).
Teams make or break a project.
A collaborative project can be successful only if the team created for it is built correctly.

Philosophy-based model
Cognitive model
Network model
Community of practice model
Quantum model
There are various other KM models, including Boisot Model, The Nonaka and Takeuchi Model and the Wiig Model.
These models use knowledge to improve the different functions within an organisation
such as strategy-building, R&D, workforce improvement, etc.
Successful management of meetings meetings helps an organisation to reach decisions quickly with general consensus.
Before conducting a meeting, plan when and where the meeting is to be held (indoors/outdoors, informal setting/formal setting).
Consider the different time zones if some members will be present remotely.

The 50-minute with a short 10-minute break gives participants just enough time to discuss matters while discouraging idle talk and boredom.

In a workplace where young and old employees work together especially
if the young are in superior positions, management skills are needed to bridge the generation gap.

while talking to the older generation face-to-face.
With the young, use brevity in communications; with older employees, use clarity and avoid jargon.
In a globalised world, most workplaces have a diverse workforce.

Avoid slang.
Ask questions to see if you are understood.
Problems are unavoidable, which makes problem solving a necessary skill to have.
When a problem arises, the fastest way to find its root cause is to look into these three factors:
Facts
Frequency
Frustrated Relationship

check the frequency of the problem,
and consider if the core issue is the relationship of the parties concerned.
