Culture is an end result, much like cake. A cake is an end result of the recipe. To make great cake we don’t fix the finished cake, we fix the recipe. As a result we get better cake. Similarly, there’s a recipe for company culture and that recipe will, given enough time, overwrite all other attempts to change culture.
What is the recipe for company culture? How do I change it? This talk explains a systems thinking approach to company culture.
