Moving Forward - Resources to get better all the time.
WINTER 2014
The Influence Of Organizational Culture
Culture as a set of basic assumptions defines for us what to pay attention to, what things mean, how to react emotionally to what is going on, and what actions to take in various kinds of situations. The dynamic processes of culture creation and management are the essence of leadership and make one realize that leadership and culture are two sides of the same coin. Consequently, the backdrop to fortifying your organization’s workplace culture is the role of organizational leaders.
