In The Nebulous Nature Of Organizational Culture, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better performance, lower drift, and more sustainable team development, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Organizational culture is an amorphous concept with considerable influence over how things are done within organizational settings (Kell & Carrott, 2005). Companies like Zappos, Google, or Netflix are evangelists when it comes to the importance of organizational culture and how their unique cultures have led to their winning outcomes as organizations. High-performing, winning cultures cannot be spoken into existence. While this is no secret, culture is not just what we say it is – it's so much more. Building a winning culture is an endeavor that matters, but it's also not as easy as having company parties or offering cold brew coffee in the offices. You might be asking "if it's not what we say it is, and it's not the things we do to help attract and engage our people, then what exactly is culture and how can we build it?" That's the question we aim to answer in this presentation.
