Organizational Culture

• According to Edgar Schein, an organization's culture consists of its customs, such as how employees socialize, greet new employees and behave when together. Organizational culture affects how leaders in training relate to those they will lead and with whom they will build relationships. Leaders in training must learn to fit in with the organization's culture so that they will be trusted and beneficial leaders who can lead with the best interests of the group in mind. According to Business Horizon, leaders must also understand organizational culture so that they can change or improve it.
