The Power of Culture presents an overview of the concept of organisational culture, its management and leadership implications, and its practical application.

It explores the skills managers need to assess, comprehend, integrate and manage culture to turn the soft, people stuff into a competitive advantage.

With chapters by eight management thinkers and practitioners from around Australia, the subject is approached from a variety of angles and perspectives. The theme underpinning all chapters however, is the crucial role of the manager in leading and shaping the culture of the organisation.
