Leadership and Organizational Culture



Introduction

Leader will organize effectively change, create vision, inspire people to follow the vision and keep people focused on the ideal future (Mischel 2008 121). What is culture?

" Culture can be interpreted in different ways, such as national / ethnic culture, the sub-culture or, culture in the anthropological sense, culture capital C.

And we act in those areas by determining to impose on them(Zammuto O'Connor 2002 701).Beliefs and ideas that organizations hold about who they are, what they're trying ...
