Organizational Culture
Culture refers to an organization’s values, beliefs, and behavior. Behavior and success are two key enablers in creating the culture. Culture change is difficult to achieve. Most people think they have done things for years a certain way, why should they change. As a leader at sometime you will be required to make culture changes. Once you get one person to do something a different way and they find the new way easier and they meet with success in doing the task different and the new way becomes the norm you just changed a culture. There is a circular flow of the organization, behavior, success and culture as shown below.

What is a Vision Statement
A short inspiring declaration of what the organization intends to become or to achieve at some point in the future
What is a Mission Statement and what should it say
Mission statements and vision statements are very different. A mission statement should be a short and concise statement of goals and priorities.
A mission statement should answer four questions
1. What do we do? What is the purpose of the origination
2. How do we do it? What’s unique about the origination
3. For whom do we do it? Who is our customers and stakeholders
4. What are our values and beliefs?
Three main benefits attributed to a mission statement
1. They help companies focus their strategy by defining some boundaries within which to operate
2. They define the dimensions along which an organization performance is measured and judged
3. They suggest standards for individuals ethical behavior
