Culture Catalyst Quotes

It is the conduit through which values, norms, and expectations travel; it is the medium that shapes relationships, fuels engagement, and drives performance.”

These undercurrents are coded with shared beliefs, values, and norms, inscribed not in explicit policies but in unwritten rules, subtle cues, and tacit understandings.”
