We’ll share our thoughts, though we also prefer to hear from YOU!
Plenty of textbook definitions exist for culture – so how would you finish the sentence:
Culture is…
I would finish it something like this:
The shared assumptions, values and beliefs of a group of people. The way in which a group of people solves problems.
– Geert Hofstede
Wise words from good ol Geert. The term culture has many meanings. Whether written as a mission statement, spoken, or just understood, organizational culture describes and governs the ways a company’s leaders, employees, customers and stakeholders think, feel and act.
