Our guests talk about a recent initiative by Pasco-Hernando State College, which exemplifies best practices in fostering cultural change through effective listening, learning, and responsive action. The college leadership conducted a comprehensive “Listening Tour,” engaging with students, faculty, and staff through small group sessions and an extensive online survey to gain deep insights into the institution’s dynamics. Following thorough analysis and the creation of presentations, the findings were strategically communicated to both senior administrators and leaders involved in the college’s strategic planning process. As a result, numerous specific actions have been implemented or are currently underway, leading to positive cultural shifts within the organization.
