ABSTRACT
This chapter explains about a model that helps to integrate organizational culture with strategy. Organizational culture can be defined as a set of values, beliefs, and assumptions, demonstrated as behavior by individuals in a particular environment. Top leaders need to define the culture, communicate it to all organizational levels, act and behave in ways that reflect and reinforce desired outcomes and take responsibility for aligning and integrating culture, strategy, and operations. Leadership development can play a key role in accelerating, reinforcing, and sustaining culture change throughout the organization. The culture of the organization is heavily influenced by its leaders. Leadership sets the tone for behaviors expected from the staff in an organization, and individuals and teams change their behaviors to match the expectations of their leaders. Leaders and practitioners are encouraged to use integrated model for engaging internal and external stakeholders to develop their organization strategy.
