The company culture is the collection of behaviors and attitudes within an organization.
Why is it important to focus on company culture? Because it can jeopardize your company’s potential today and in the future.
I love the expression:
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Peter Drucker
Most leaders give the development of a culture for granted and just let it go with the flow. Being intentional around what culture you want your company to live by is, however, as important as your strategy and, in fact, if the culture is not healthy and flourishing, it will affect your current and future performance.
