Teams and Groups in Organizations
Culture is an organization unifier through shared beliefs, experiences, and values which makes a company unique. An organizational culture usually provides a sense of belonging to employees, that way supporting the overall mission of the company. When a unifying culture miss, there could be resultant conflicts taking a heavy toll on the business, its customers or investors. Leaders take steps as ensuring clear communication, assessing organizational plans, uncovering shared interest and fostering collaboration to create a strong culture and unify teams (Chitrakar, 2017, 17). To build a unifying culture takes a lot of work and demands collective commitment.
Typically, there exist challenges and opportunities created by a strong culture in an organization. One of the challenges involves a lot of effort in maintaining the formed culture (Ramdhani, Ramdhani & Ainissyifa, 2017, 826). To preserve a developed culture is not easy, it requires solid actions like increasing employee engagement, to ensure a reflection on a company’s culture. Another challenge is to involve all team members while providing all employees feel like a part of the culture process. Again, involving all employee may not be easy as it requires fostering a common organizational behavior which might be hard, especially when working with individuals from various backgrounds.
One of the significant opportunities to reap from a solidly built culture is a brand-new identity.

Culture is what makes an organization unique and have a distinctive edge. When a culture is being defined, goal and values are as well redefined making the brand of a company distinguished in the market (Belias & Koustelios, 2014, 133). For example, as a global business leader in the automobile industry, Toyota company uses an organizational culture to increase human resource capability in innovations. Toyota has distinct features which are shaped from unique culture and are indicators of a well-facilitated organizational learning.
