"What is company culture? Company culture lives in the collective actions of a team. It's not the written organization's values but the actual behavior of each employee. It appears in the choices employees make when leadership steps away, how they handle challenges, innovate, and communicate with each other. A great company culture is the shared identity that drives the business forward."
"Clan culture is a lot like a large family, where everyone collaborates and communicates freely. Business leaders and managers act as mentors or parent figures, and the team prioritizes mutual support. Such a supportive environment builds deep loyalty and high morale because engaged employees feel seen and valued. But it can sometimes slow down decision-making, since you often need the whole group to agree before the ship turns."
Company culture is the collective actions and behaviors of employees that form a shared identity and propel business outcomes. Remote and hybrid work require intentional operating models because physical proximity no longer builds cohesion naturally. Culture manifests in everyday choices, problem-solving, innovation, and communication when leaders are absent. The Competing Values Framework groups cultures into archetypes such as clan (collaborative), ad hocracy (innovative), market (competitive), and hierarchy (structured), each with trade-offs. Strong cultures boost loyalty, morale, and performance; weak cultures reveal red flags like inconsistent behavior, poor communication, and slowed decision-making. Culture can improve through learning, deliberate practices, and leadership modeling.
