Culture
Culture is the most powerful and least tangible force in any organization — "the way we do things around here," the invisible set of shared norms and values that shapes how everyone behaves, especially when no one's watching. Every organization has a culture whether or not anyone designed it, and it will either be shaped deliberately or form by accident. Because culture governs behavior at a scale no rules or processes can reach, understanding it — and knowing that it's shaped by actions, not words — is essential to how organizations actually function.
