If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization.

Turning a culture around is very difficult to do because it's based on a series of many, many decisions, and the organization is framed by those decisions.

Corporate culture matters. How management chooses to treat its people impacts everything - for better or for worse.

Since most startups operate at a break-neck pace, with a concept to prove or a product to launch within a rapidly shortening runway of financing, company culture often gets shoved aside. This is a big, big mistake: Nobody serious about their business should put culture in the corner.

Increasingly, corporate nationality is whatever a corporation decides it is.

Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can't deliver good service from unhappy employees.

Having a few companies controlling everything we read, see or hear is destroying our culture.

It seems like those of us who run a business can't go five minutes without encountering the term "company culture." The phrase is always uttered with extreme adoration, yet the very concept seems as nebulous as it is elusive.

Companies, like people, don't much like to change.

We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment-based.
