However, for any real change to take place, you have to start with the understanding that corporate values and organizational culture are not the same things.

004. How Leaders Influence Culture
Organizational culture is built up of people, the tacit agreements they make and the beliefs, values and motives that are shaped as a result. However, everyone within the organization can potentially have an impact on whether that culture will be healthy or become corrupted.
In this episode of Leading Transformational Change, Heart Management co-founder Tobias Sturesson uses a glass of water as a picture of culture. Customers, coworkers, suppliers and even society drink from that glass when they interact with the organization. And every leader and employee contribute something to the content of the glass.
