The best definition I ever heard was "aroundhereism." Culture just is. Management can only start to chip away at it if they are even aware of what it really is. It is not usually what they think it is unless they are out in the trenches everyday. Change can happen by: 1. Hiring the people who will exhibit the behavior you want. 2. Recognizing/stroking that behavior in employees when they exhibit that behavior. 3. Walking the talk all of the time. 4. Implementing and managing the cognizant values and policies consistently over a long period of time. I am a big fan of culture and culture change.
