Culture Is Emergent Chris Corrigan

A culture is emergent and is the result of millions of interactions, behaviours, artifacts and stories that people build up over time.

It is unpredictable and results in surprise.

The idea that a “culture change initiative” can be rolled out from the top of an organization is not only a myth, it’s a hidden form of colonization.

And worse, the idea that people need to be changed in the way the boss determines if we are to become the kind of place that we all aspire too is cruel and violent.
