For this assignment, you will explore how every organization has a unique culture and climate, which has developed over time. Review the works of Kouzes and Posner (2003) and Peter Senge (2006) to gain a clear understanding of the connection between culture, climate, and leadership in an organization. Based upon these two resources, reflect upon your organization's culture and climate. In a well-written and researched response, share the following:
• What are some preliminary observations between the content shared by the authors and your leader's practices?
• What role did your organization's leader take to shape the culture and climate?
• How has the leader implemented initiatives to improve or hinder the organization's culture and climate?
• Based upon your observation, has the culture and climate affected the productivity of the organization's staff members?
• What could be done differently and/or what was done effectively?
