TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the need to tackle core attitudes at the head of organizations as the key prerequisite of radical culture change, high learning and innovation, and long-term competitiveness.
Abstract: Contrasts traditional western organizations with more democratically run high performance cultures. Opposing interpersonal attitudes and skills at the root of this contrast are identified. Illustrates academic evasion of the democratic dimension, allowing managers to marginalize vital attitudes and skills, and misapply strategies to reinforce the traditional command‐and‐control culture. Prevailing hierarchical attitudes are exemplified to be the cause of the high failure rate of TQM, employee involvement, customer care programmes, etc. Consultants and academics are urged to highlight the need to tackle core attitudes at the head of organizations as the key prerequisite of radical culture change, high learning and innovation, and long‐term competitiveness.

TL;DR: The relationship between culture and policy in early childhood development is therefore intimate, complex and multi-faceted as discussed by the authors, and understanding the ways in which culture and policies reflect and influence each other should be part of the theoretical toolkit of educators, health care providers and policy makers.
Abstract: Introduction Policies are cultural products. They are generated using concepts shared by members of a cultural group and implemented through culturally-based institutions. Their effects play out in the natural laboratory of everyday life in a particular cultural place. The relationship between culture and policy in early childhood development is therefore intimate, complex and multi-faceted. Understanding the ways in which culture and policy reflect and influence each other should be part of the theoretical toolkit of educators, health care providers and policy makers; but in fact, culture and policy are rarely considered in the same context. Examining the cultural context of policy is of particular importance in the current era of rapid culture change and globalization.

Abstract: We have talked about leadership and culture change as being essential if organizations are to seize the competitive advantages offered by new ways of working. The findings of our specially designed survey, described below, reveal the type of organizational culture that will adapt most easily to the forces transforming work. However, the managers we questioned reported a big gap between current organizational cultures and what they view as the ideal culture for the new world of work.
