Organisational culture is often seen as the responsibility of top leadership to define (often through consultative processes) and then imbue as a set of beliefs across an organisation. In our experience, however, even the best leaders struggle to understand and shift organisational culture if purely couched in values and leadership terms. It is a far more nuanced and complex set of practices and perspectives that have evolved in an organisation, often over many years.
This article in the recent SSIR busts some myths about culture and discusses how thinking about it differently can help organisations leverage culture more effectively as a ''day to day toolkit'' for improving performance.
