LDR610_02 Leadership Behavior & Change Dynamics
Introduction
When an organization is going through the change process, the culture of the organization often plays a role in how the entire process is conducted. In Beach’s textbook, he discusses how organizational culture is correlated to successful change processes and can also be used to lessen the resistance to change. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to consider your organization’s culture and complete the culture survey. Based on the results, you will create a profile for your organization’s culture (this can be the same company selected for the CAP project or a different company).
