Creation and Maintenance of Organizational Culture

The video explains how organizational culture is created and maintained. It starts with the founders' vision, values, and mission, which establish the early culture. As the organization grows, it faces internal challenges like structure and communication, and external challenges like competition. Companies hire employees who fit the existing culture, and those who don't fit tend to leave, leading to a culture of similar individuals.
