ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Organizational culture

Organizational culture is like a family. Everyone in the family (or organization) has their own unique personality, style, and opinions. But, everyone in the family agrees on the same basic values and beliefs. These values and beliefs influence how the family (or organization) behaves and makes decisions. They also tell people what is important to the family (or organization). For example, some organizations have a culture that is focused on providing the best possible customer service, while other organizations may have a culture that focuses on being creative and innovative.
