Few leaders today would deny the importance of organizational culture — it shapes and sustains both employee productivity and business results. But although culture matters to managers trying to transform their organizations and even auditors who now work to document culture , it is often ambiguous and hard to define. Culture is more than individual talent, and it is more than a random set of well-intended and internally derived values, behaviors, or emotions.

As a time management coach, I work with many individuals who dread deadlines. Some of them meet their deadlines but only by becoming enormously frazzled and working late, which compromises their peace of mind and their work-life balance.

Managers understand that having employees who understand the latest tools and technologies is vital to keeping a company competitive.
