The 800 Pound Gorilla
Culture, this 800 pound Gorilla, is simply “the way we do things around 
here.” It’s an all-pervasive environment that shapes your individual expectations, actions, interpretations and responses to events in a given organizational context. You don’t have to see it or understand it to be influenced by it; it affects everything you do (and everything your employees do) in your organization. But you do have to understand it in order to change it, to make it into a strategic ally.
Corporate culture – this 800 pound Gorilla – has some intriguing characteristics. This Gorilla
- is bigger than any of us (but made up of all of us),
- hates change, and
- is invisible.
A pretty tough package!
