Various researchers stated that [c]ompanies with an established organizational culture that includes strong capabilities for change, a commitment to innovation and a high level of trust have a significant advantage (Eccles et al., 2012, p. 44) when attempting to adopt a strategy of broad-based corporate sustainability. In fact, according to the National Business Ethics Survey (ECI, 2013; Sagal, 2021) results, building strong corporate ethics cultures are paramount and leaders must continue this work to ensure progress. Organizational leaders should have a strong incentive to identify and address any disparities that exist between their organizations current culture and a productive, healthy one. They must understand the influence and impact they can have as leaders in facilitating an organizational culture, determining the necessary steps to build that culture, and taking the necessary action to create a healthy organizational culture. Leaders must also use the principles of positive social change to enhance both their leadership styles and the overall organizational culture. For this Assignment, you will continue to familiarize yourself with Dr. Craig Marshs challenges and those things he must consider as he builds a new corporate culture. Imagine again that you have similar challenges, but before building a new corporate culture, you must become familiar with relevant research to make the appropriate decisions.
