When leaders communicate, they create culture.
An agile culture of high-performance communication makes implementing strategy seamless.
How agile is your organizations’ culture to produce effective, robust innovation?

CULTURE EATS STRATEGY FOR BREAKFAST
"Unfortunately, in our experience it is far more common for leaders seeking to build high-performing organizations to be confounded by culture... They may lay out detailed, thoughtful plans for strategy and execution, but because they don’t understand culture’s power and dynamics, their plans go off the rails. As someone once said, culture eats strategy for breakfast."

— Boris Groysberg, Jeremiah Lee, Jesse Price, and J. Yo-Jud Cheng, Harvard Business Review
