So what precisely are these things called team building and culture that we are responsible for developing and stewarding well? Team building is fairly easy to define; it involves mobilizing a group of people with diverse skills who are committed to a shared vision and common goals. Culture, however, is somewhat more challenging to describe. Why? Because it consists primarily of unspoken rules about “the way we do things around here.” Culture is that imprecise something, the invisible presence or personality of a place that can be difficult to describe without actually experiencing it.
