An organization needs to focus on its culture and strategy in tandem so business results can flourish. Challenging by nature, these topics are often approached separately, disrupting the equilibrium of the organization. When leaders are focused on becoming a high-performing organization, with a high degree of trust, they create a competitive advantage.
