## Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast (and Lunch) Peter Drucker was right. Culture eats strategy for breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. And the midnight snack. Your strategy is what you plan to do.
Your culture is what you actually do. And when the two conflict - which they will - culture wins every time. ### What Culture Actually Is Culture isn't the values painted on the wall.
It's not the mission statement on the website. It's not the free snacks in the kitchen or the ping-pong table in the break room. Culture is what happens when the founder isn't in the room.
How people treat each other under pressure. Whether bad news travels up or gets buried. Whether mistakes are learning opportunities or career-ending events.
