INTRODUCTIO
N
 Whenever two or more people come together with a shared
purpose, they form a culture with its own written and
unwritten rules for behavior.
 Our families, workplaces, and communities all have cultures.
 These cultures have a tremendous, though rarely recognized,
impact upon our behavior as individuals.
 Changes in culture that are initiated by a group need cultural
support of members of the group, or else they will not last long.
 A supportive cultural environment is needed for lasting change.
