I was talking to a former school teacher and an artist in our church yesterday. She made a statement concerning her assignment years ago to teach in an inner-city school.
Here's the quote:
Change the climate, you change the culture.
Change the culture, you change the results.
Culture isn't created over night. It's easier to create than to change.
Climate, by definition is "the prevailing condition or set of attitudes."
Culture by definition is "the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns."
Leaders change the climate, those following leadership change the culture. This teacher knew her job was to change the attitudes and conditions in the classroom....then a few students would change the culture over time. Makes sense to me!
