assessing your culture

Ed Schein, now retired from the MIT School of Management, taught that a group's culture can be studied in three ways: by looking at its "artifacts," such as physical space and behaviors; by surveying the beliefs and values espoused by group members; or by digging deeper into the underlying assumptions behind those values.

As Adam Grant of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and it's youngest-ever tenured professor told me: "People interpret strong cultures based on the artifacts because they're the most visible, but the values and assumptions underneath matter much more.""
