Creating a High-Performance Culture

Although a judiciously shaped strategy may make or break a company, the influence of the organisational culture is paramount because it may make or break the strategy. Also, managers’ strategic choices are underlined by the belief systems or culture of their organisation. The culture influences the managers, and the managers influence the culture.
