Culture and LeadershipCulture and Leadership
Culture: Culture is a pattern of shared basic assumptions that the group learned as it solved problems of external adaptation and internal integration, that has worked well enough to be considered valid and therefore to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think and feel in relation to those problems.
MGTO234-3 3
Key Concepts Relating to Culture
Concept of culture helps explain some of the seemingly irrational aspects of groups and organizations
Any group with a stable membership and a history of shared learning will have developed some level of culture
MGTO234-3 4
Key Concepts Relating to Culture
Culture and leadership are two sides of the same coin--Leaders first create cultures when
they create groups and organizations
--Once cultures exist they determine the criteria for leadership and thus who will & will not be leaders
MGTO234-3 5

2. Group Norms which are the stated values that evolve in working groups (e.g., "Fair day’s pay”).
3. Stated Values which are the principles and values a group tries to achieve (e.g., "“product quality” “price leadership”).

MGTO234-3 9
Culture-Summary
“Culture” adds 2 critical elements to the concept of sharing:1. Structural stability: Something
“cultural” implies it is not only shared but is deep and stable
2. Integration of the elements of culture: “Culture” ties the 10 elements together in an umbrella fashion
This integration is the essence of the meaning of culture
MGTO234-3 10
Culture-Summary
How to think about culture and define it:
1. Most useful way: view culture as the accumulated shared learning of a given group
2. Must be history of shared experiences for their to be shared learning
3. Such stability and shared history of experiences will cause various shared elements to form into patterns that eventually can be called an organization’s culture
