How Culture Impacts Strategy 

Culture is the environment where strategy is born and either thrives or dies. You can have the most brilliant plan in the industry; without the right culture behind it, it goes nowhere.

Culture isn't what's written on the walls or stated in a mission statement. It's what people believe and how they act when no one is looking. It's the invisible force that shapes behavior, drives motivation, and determines whether a plan written in a boardroom ever comes to life on the front line.

Today we'll look at eight dimensions of culture—from trust and leadership to adaptability and resilience—and what each one means for how strategy gets executed in the real world.

Strategy tells you where you're going. Culture decides whether you get there.
