Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, please read Chapter 8 in your Kinicki and Williams (2008) textbook, and the following articles: Hartnell, Ou, Kinicki, Choi, and Karam (2019), “A Meta-Analytic Test of Organizational Culture’s Association With Elements of an Organization’s System and its Relative Predictive Validity on Organizational Outcomes (Links to an external site.),” and Painter (2019), “Leadership Culture by Design (Links to an external site.).”

In an initial post of at least 300 words, and citing at least two required scholarly sources, explain the nature of organizational culture, and how both visible and unseen culture components influence thinking and behavior in an organization. Provide an example of each type of culture component. Then, discuss the influence culture has on individual, team, and organizational performance, and what can happen if leaders and managers are not attentive to maintaining a positive culture. Outline the key responsibilities of leaders and managers in promoting and sustaining a positive culture.
