What is culture
It's how your organization actually works — not what you wrote on the wall.
Organizational culture is the set of behaviors, decisions, and rituals your team repeats when no one is watching. It's not your values poster. It's not your offsite. It's what actually happens when a deadline slips, when someone disagrees in a meeting, when a new hire shows up on day one.
Culture is built — or eroded — in the small moments. The good news: you can design those moments on purpose. That's what this site is for.
