How would you currently describe the link between leadership and culture?

Each leader leaves a mark to preserve and/or influence culture, usually ever so slightly. Highland believes that reward and recognition practices are at the core of organizational culture. By understanding the reward and recognition practices, one may quickly understand the culture. The behaviors that leaders reward/reinforce tend to get repeated which can become part of the organization’s culture.

How would you define organizational culture?

Highland describes culture as “the distillation of the dominant executive or management style of those who have led and presently lead the organization”.

What do you hope to gain from this workshop?

I would like to leave with an in-depth understanding of how to interpret the OCS results into specific opportunities/needs and potential actions. I would also expect a better understanding of the relationship between the OCS and high performance organizations.
