8. What Is Corporate Culture?
Corporate culture refers to the beliefs and
behaviors that determine how a company's
employees and management interact and
handle outside business transactions. Often,
corporate culture is implied, not expressly
defined, and develops organically over time
from the cumulative traits of the people the
company hires. A company's culture will be
reflected in its dress code, business hours, office
setup, employee benefits, turnover, hiring
decisions, treatment of clients, client
satisfaction, and every other aspect of
operations (Investopedia) 8

if we asked people to rely on
logic and common sense
instead of on formal policies,
most of the time we would get
better results, and at lower
cost.”- Patty McCord, Chief

Six Components of a Great Corporate Culture
by John Coleman – HBR
1. Vision: ”A great culture starts with a vision or
mission statement”.
2. Values: ”A company’s values are the core of
its culture”.
3. Practices: ”values are of little importance
unless they are enshrined in a company’s
practices”.
4. People: ”No company can build a coherent
culture without people who either share its
core values or possess the willingness and
ability to embrace those values”.
5. Narrative: “Any organization has a unique
history — a unique story. And the ability to
unearth that history and craft it into a narrative
is a core element of culture creation”.
6. Place: ”Whether geography, architecture, or
aesthetic design — impacts the values and
behaviors of people in a workplace”.
