While employees’ beliefs and values can have a direct impact on a company’s culture, an organisation’s leaders can be the driving force behind this, as they have the power to lead by example and map out the direction of the business.
For example, a previous Forbes article shared that leadership can help to lay the foundation of culture to empower employees to achieve a company’s goal. And it seems executives are aware of this, as previous research by Deloitte discovered that 94% of executives believe a distinct workplace culture is important to business success. The same study revealed that employees (88%) also believe that a strong company purpose is vital for a business to be successful.
