You already know many things about culture,
specially the different features of how culture defines
how an organization works.
But, as a leader, could you say how leadership and culture interact?
If you remember, we used to say that the workers of any organization
are the bearers of the culture
and the safety culture of that organization.
And as we have already seen,
leaders can shape the behaviors of the employees of the organization.
So, it is fair to say that leadership and culture are strongly related.
And we can say that both are two sides of the same coin.
On one side of this coin, we can find that the culture norms define
how the organization will define the leadership.
And thus, the unique talent of leaders is
their ability to understand and work with this culture.
On the other side of this coin,
we can see that leaders create and change the culture.
So, both sides of this coin are related, they blend into each other,
and one side can change the other.
If you joined us in the previous NOOCs,
then you will remember the following slide.
As we said before, leadership and culture are really strongly related.
Leaders shape culture, but they have to adapt
to their organizational culture.
Lets say that leaders should be clear in order to shape culture,
looking for the best behaviors.
Behaviors are the most important thing here.
And leadership main objective is to eliminate all the bad practices.
For example, promoting a strong and healthy safety culture
to avoid challenges.
Then, when leadership and culture promote positive behaviors,
the performance or results should be always positive.
This means, that all of them are strongly linked,
and it's impossible to understand one without looking at the others.
