    “

    Real culture isn't a poster; it’s what gets rewarded, tolerated, and repeated when the pressure is on. It’s about 'viral change'—small, contagious behaviors that ripple out.

    Viral Change is a ground-breaking management methodology developed by Leandro Herrero that focuses on how behaviors spread within an organization like a virus. Instead of traditional top-down mandates, it utilizes social infection theory to scale sustainable change through peer-to-peer influence. By identifying small, non-negotiable behaviors and leveraging internal networks, leaders can transform corporate culture more effectively than through standard change management processes.

    Values in action represent the practical application of abstract corporate principles into daily behaviors. In the realm of organisational psychology, this shift ensures that culture is defined by what people actually do rather than what is written in a mission statement. When employees see values modeled through consistent actions, it builds trust and psychological safety, creating a foundation for long-term behavioral change across the entire workforce.

    Social infection theory suggests that behaviors, ideas, and emotions spread through social networks via imitation and informal communication. In a corporate culture context, this means that change is most successful when it is driven by influential employees rather than just formal leadership. By understanding these social dynamics, organizations can foster a movement where positive behaviors become 'contagious,' leading to a more organic and resilient cultural evolution.
