The culture of an organization is very important in many ways but i believe a lot of people mis interrupt it and look beyond it. The culture of an organization is very different in sports from the regular world and also each sport and team at that matter relay on a very specific culture from the people they have work for them to the mission statement on the wall of the main office. A strong culture I believe is a step in the right direction for a very strong and effective organization. When you and your organization are on the same page as far as goals it is very easy to set a mood or culture that your going to always stand by. I believe with change your going to have to maybe re think your culture because what you may had as a mission statement 20 years ago may not fit with your beliefs and traditions now a days. To have a very strong culture throughout the organization I believe that it starts from the top down and making sure that everyone is happy but yet sticking to the mission statement or beliefs of that organization and if you have people that are not sticking with it or have the same thoughts about the organization as everyone else the you need to get rid of them and find someone that is suitable for the culture of the team. If you do not get rid of that person and you let them keep their position it is going to make things much worse for you in the long run and they could in turn really mess up the culture of the organization. The culture also looks as deep as what your benefits, selection promotion, retirement, and so on. Its just not all about the feel of the organization but also the little things like how you can get promoted or the benefits you have for working in our organization. Language is very crucial to culture because I believe in every sport organization there is a different language used. Not so much between teams in the same sport but especially between the different sports like football and hockey. The language not only goes on the field but a lot of it is off the field in marketing, promotions, announcing and so on. Culture is a very specific term and it changes so much throughout the sport world and in different areas it may be the same but most likely you will never see the same mission statement in two different organizations. That is culture because they have there own meanings and beliefs for what the organization stands for and what there goals are.

While reading your post, one thing stuck out to me and that was how important it is for you to to reevaluate your goals every so often. IF your mission statement is from 20 years ago and you still havent achieved what you strived for maybe it is time to rethink. Very good
