Cultivation Cultures (PEOPLE/POSSIBILITY oriented) are often centered around a greater mission; examples include religious organizations, non-profits, social impact organizations. Leaders remove obstacles that impede attaining the org’s mission. Examples – Zappos, Doctors Without Borders. Competence Cultures (COMPANY/POSSIBILITY oriented) are innovative (possibility) and are utilize the best talent to bring ideas to bear. This culture is about being the best and winning – best product, most market share, etc. Leaders are results-driven and will hire and fire to do what needs to be done. Examples: Deloitte, Apple.
