January 22 (10-11 am) \ Is Your Organization's Culture Impeding Growth? (Nonprofit Webinars)

Peter Drucker has a great quote: "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Although culture plays a large part in how organizations function, grow and change, we don't always take its power and influence fully into account. When organizations assess their readiness for growth - or are unexpectedly thrown into change - their culture can be a help, a hindrance or somewhere in between. Because an organization's culture often evolves organically, leaders and staff are not always aware of the role culture takes in their ability to grow.
