“Culture eats strategy for breakfast,” is a famous quote by the late business management guru Peter Drunker. All great organizations have great cultures, and great cultures are designed intentionally, not left to chance. Organizational culture is defined as a system of shared assumptions, values and beliefs which governs how people behave in organizations. This course addresses the steps supervisors can take to help build a culture where employees trust each other, hold themselves (and others) accountable, focus their efforts on the co-op’s goals and strive to continually improve their processes.
