Consider the research from the Journal of Human Values, and the readings from Hultman and Fedler, we know organizational cultures are created through strategic choices and daily actions–we also know leaders and organizations can miss opportunities to reinforce both the values and responsible ethics.
Determine how leaders can prepare to incorporate ethical values into the cultural framework through their daily leadership, as well, consider how the leader knows the followers and the organization are committed to the values, how they can incorporate those values in the framework of the culture in a sustainable way, and ultimately how to sustain a culture for long-term viability.
Review the DSL dialogue guidelines. Each post should be 350 words (not including the references) +/- 10% and supported with robust scholarly research above and beyond the assigned readings.

Combining what Schein says about organizational culture becoming hard to change as time progresses and what Cameron and Quinn say about changing organizations when incongruence exists, explain what strategies you might use to help an organization change its culture while not compromising its’ values and ethics. Explain how you will know the culture really must change rather than change the people. How might the scriptures support your stance?
In addition to your other sources try using Edgar and Peter Scheins Organizational Culture and Leadership. (5th ed.) Hoboken, NJ, Wiley and Cameron, K.S. and Quinn R. E. (2011). Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture: Based on the Competing Values Framework. (3rd ed.) Jossey Bass to support your discussion as well.
