Day #581 - Structure and Belief

How they intersect

Culture is held somewhere between behaviour, structure, and belief (if it is even a thing at all).

What we believe may influence how we behave - but it does not determine or guarantee it (i explore these trade offs in the Imperfect Leadership work).

Structure may enable or constrain our behaviour, but again it does not determine it, not does it control belief.

Behaviour may not represent what we believe or be a true representation of the system, but in many ways it is the most ‘real’ aspect of culture. In that what is do does directly impact you.

Use your sixty seconds today to consider this: for you, what is the key element of culture. One of these or something else?
