Titled \u201cWhat is Organizational Culture? And Why Should We Care?\u201d the post explores the vague and undefined meaning of the phenomenon and it\u2019s impact on business success. Author Michael Watkins suggests that most can agree that organizational culture (1) does exist and (2) \u201cplays a crucial role in shaping behavior in organizations,\u201d but beyond that, the concept is rather subjective. Because most can agree on its importance, it\u2019s vital to first gain an understanding of what organizational culture means, so that you can then determine how to positively influence it. Watkins initiated a LinkedIn discussion to try to understand what organizational culture means to different people. Here are some of the responses:  \"Culture is how organizations 'do things'.\"\u00a0\u2014 Robbie Katanga  \"In large part, culture is a product of compensation.\"\u00a0\u2014 Alec Haverstick  \"Organizational culture defines a jointly shared description of an organization from within.\"\u2014 Bruce Perron  \"Organizational culture is the sum of values and rituals which serve as 'glue' to integrate the members of the organization.\"\u00a0\u2014 Richard Perrin  \"Organizational culture is civilization in the workplace.\"\u00a0\u2014 Alan Adler  \"Culture is the organization's immune system.\"\u00a0\u2014 Michael Watkins  \"Organizational culture the main culture of the society we live in, albeit with greater emphasis on particular parts of it.\"\u00a0\u2014 Elizabeth Skringar  \"It over simplifies the situation in large organizations to assume there is only one culture... and it's risky for new leaders to ignore the sub-cultures.\"\u00a0\u2014 Rolf Winkler  \"An organization a living culture... that can adapt to the reality as fast as possible.\"\u00a0\u2014 Abdi Osman Jama  Now, after considering these perspectives, think about what organizational culture means to you, where your present culture stands, and how you can change it for the better.
