An organizational culture refers to the beliefs, morals, mission and attitudes shared by the organization and its employees. This is not a formal system, but  it emerges long-term and is related to the dynamic between employees, employees and managers, and the corporate governance and all staff.

Many organizations shape their culture through leaders; although leaders are able to shape the organizational culture, in some cases, some organizations already have an established and strong culture and this will determine the type of leader that the organization requires.
