• Discuss the ways in which a healthy culture and leadership, aligned with strategy, is advantageous for an organization. Provide examples to support your reasoning.
• Discuss how a culture that is weak and non-adaptive can have adverse performance implications for an organization. Illustrate your explanation with examples.
• Describe in specific terms how an organization's culture serves as an effective or ineffective filter between adversity and performance; what are the factors involved and why are they factors?
