Have you ever noticed how some companies just get it right?
Whether it’s the speed of execution, the creativity of their product, or the fact that they’ve spotted a market trend way before the competition—some organizations seem to operate in perfect flow.

When you dig a little deeper, though, you’ll often find something important behind that success:
A strong organizational culture.

And here’s the key insight:
Organizational culture is rarely an accident.

Usually, it starts with a founder or leader who deeply believes in something. It could be:

• A focus on people—employees or customers.
• A passion for innovation.
• Or a genuine desire to make the world a better place.

That belief system shapes the way the company does things: from the way teams collaborate to how products are designed and delivered. What you see on the outside—speed, creativity, customer focus—is often the effect of the organizational culture working behind the scenes.

So, should organizational culture be built—or just happen naturally?

That’s the million-dollar question, and one that’s sparked many debates. In my opinion, culture will always evolve naturally to some extent. But if you’re a leader or entrepreneur, you need to ask yourself:

Am I actively shaping my company’s culture, or just letting it happen by default?

In my experience coaching leaders in both multinationals and SMEs, the most successful companies are those where the leader plays an active role in building and sustaining the culture.

It’s about setting the tone, inspiring the team, and aligning everyone toward a shared goal. It’s about pulling people together to work as one unit—not just running a business, but building a community with purpose.
