Building A Culture That Works: The CEO As The Cultural Epicenter
Editor's note: Peter Levine is a partner at Andreessen Horowitz.As a former CEO and senior executive, there was a time when I did not quite understand the profound impact a CEO has on the culture of a company, even though I always knew culture was important. The organization reflects the behavior and characteristics of the CEO, and that establishes the culture. Foster an environment of open communication and the organization inherits a culture of open communication. Operationally detailed? The organization becomes operationally detailed. Political? The organization becomes political. Curse a lot? The organization curses. Angry? The organization gets angry. Have a big office? Everyone wants a big office. It doesnt matter whats written on a coffee mug or on a culture slide, what you do as a CEO, day in and day out, and how you behave will define your companys culture.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/nAhVKIW1vNA/
