Company culture is not a ‘one size fits all’ attribute. In fact, a company’s culture is as uniquely tied to it as a human is to their personality. It is cultivated slowly, tied to unique goals, and is built with the contributions of others. Company culture is something that accumulates regardless of whether its growth is guided or not – although, it’s always better if it’s driven to be a positive, productive, and progressive attribute of a business.
