powerful factor in any organization. It determines
the receptivity of staff and volunteers to new ideas,
unleashes or dampens creativity, builds or erodes
enthusiasm, and creates a sense of pride or deep
discouragement about working or being involved
there.
Dr. Samuel Chand
Cracking the Church Culture Code

26. “Ultimately, the culture of an organization—
particularly in churches and nonprofit
organizations, but also in any organization—
shapes individual morale, teamwork,
effectiveness, and outcomes. “
