In my company planning is the foundation to our success and the plan that we have delegated has become the glue that holds our project together when times become confusing or unwilling.

If managers are able to learn to manage in accordance to whatever threats or different situations that they are faced with, then I feel that a manager will be fully equipped and adaptable to handle any given scenario thus contributing to escalating business performance.

The culture within an organization can make or break how productive and how responsive the business operates. Organizational culture is the set of shared, taken-for-granted implicit assumptions that a group holds and that determines how it perceives, thins about, and reacts to its various environments, (Kinicki, A. and Kreitner, R., 2009).With that being said it becomes important to set values that you want everyone to work by. This will help when new employees are added to the team and will also help ensure that the behaviors within the organization are acceptable and beneficial to the overall outcome of the business. The culture should be determined right from the start so the right employees are hired.
