Great question. The short answer is this is going to be a really difficult uphill battle. This largely isnt about management. Its about culture and you alone cannot dictate that. Changing company culture is a huge undertaking and results in tons of departures.

If you have direct influence and control over your team, then you could try out your ideas within your span of control. That might act as an example of influence to other teams. You might also try meeting with other managers / friendlies 1:1 over coffee or a beer to test the waters and see where theyre at.

That being said, this would be a massive time and emotional investment. Youd likely be better off doing your job to the best of your abilities considering the circumstances, then find somewhere more compatible for your style.
