Leadership influences company culture heavily and the seventh guiding principle out of the eight OCIMF principals on human factors comes to highlight this. Leaders can reinforce organizational culture by helping their people grow and develop through goal setting, opportunities, and recognition.
This influence over others can be either positive or negative based on the leadership style and execution of strategy, but both effective and ineffective leadership will impact the organizational culture in the workplace. Leaders who mentor and coach, appreciate their employees, provide opportunities and build connections contribute to shaping conditions that influence positively their team, achieving the best outcome for their team and the whole organization.
