The role I think an organization’s culture plays in how its leaders lead is of the utmost importance.

Indeed a good leader has to establish the kind of corporate culture or organization culture that allows the people to do their job, grow, and prosper. Without the proper culture, expectations, and direction, the organization goes adrift.

That is when a great leader steps in. To show how things must be done, create a clear path, promote the correct values, generate expectations, and motivate the employees to work as a team.
