What Is Corporate Culture And How Does It Affect Your Business?
The abstract concept that is "Culture" is a general term which covers many aspects of societal living, primarily focusing on the identity of population groups.

How To Change A Corporate Culture
The changing of corporate culture, from either an impersonal bureaucracy to being a more organic entity, or even the other way around to find a happy medium, is an idea that sociologists, not only bureaucrats, have studied. However, certain ideas and concepts not specific to the corporate world but to any endeavor hold true here. Although some leaders like to make decisions from the top down, and although this is the most practical way for organizations to run, a leader must realize that no changes can happen without the bottommost members of the organization also being included in the central planning; this is because, obviously, the lower members are the movers and shakers, so to speak.

Effective Leadership: Building A Successful Corporate Culture
The information revolution has taken some old-time sources of competitive advantage - technology, manufacturing processes, and others - out of the equation. So more than ever, leadership, strategy and culture are important to a company's success. Executives who seek input from all levels of their organization can build a knowledge base that allows them to formulate smarter strategy. Smart leadership can also help produce strong, healthy business cultures that make those strategies easier to implement. While autocratic leaders can help their companies make money, open-minded leaders are likely to help their companies make more money.

They are indications that something is missing in the leadership equation.

Effective Leadership Styles: Which One Works For You?
There are as many effective leadership styles as there are effective styles of parenting. There is much evidence that no one particular style is right for all situations. Certainly to be a successful leader you will need some terrific skills, knowledge and aptitude, however, it's your leadership style that really gives your business unit (no matter how big or small) its flavor.

Developing Leaders In A Dynamic World
To excel in an environment of near-constant change, organizations must devote sufficient time, attention and resources to leadership development. This paper suggests that while instructor-led training is clearly important, a multidimensional approach to leadership development delivers higher-impact results.

Leadership - Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Ineffective leaders don't understand that actions speak louder than words. The expect people to listen to what they say not what they do. If you want to be an effective leader you need to lead by your example - not just what you say. People will usually listen to what you say, but they really pay attention to what you do. You can't say one thing and do another if you want to be effective as a leader. Just because you think you are more important than your subordinates doesn't mean that they are going to assume you don't have to follow any of your own rules.
