CULTURE DEFINES AN ORGINZATION
Culture Defines Your Organization
A National Command & Staff College Professional Development Workshop
The Workshop Every Leader Needs
Culture isn’t a slogan on the wall. It’s the habits, rituals, and standards that show up every day on shift, in briefing, and in the field. This program helps leaders see culture clearly, design it with intention, and keep it steady when pressure hits.
Available as an 8-hour or 16-hour session
