Culture is about Behavior

Your company, your family, your friendships, your relationships establish a culture. That culture is effectively defined by what behaviors you tolerate and which ones you condemn or ignore. Some cultures allow certain behaviors, others do not. Relationships no matter how big or how small are always negotiating on what is allowable in terms of behavior.

Interesting exercise is to ask yourself what behaviors you will tolerate and which ones that you will not. Then ask yourself why? Which culture is influencing you into that behavior?
