“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
Peter Drucker
Strategy and systems are important. So is culture. I am often asked which is more important. Drucker would contend, by virtue of the above quote, that culture is more important.
I would argue they are mutually or equally important. A strong culture will influence your strategy. It will empower your people.
It is the heart of the business.
Systems and strategy ensure you are building a solid culture, proactively and intentionally.
Systems and strategy are the brains and drivers of the business.
Great businesses have both.
