Every organisation has a culture

Every organization has a culture whether by design or by default. 

When culture, including values and mission, is not called out or made explicit, the organization defaults to an implicit or unstated culture. 

The unnamed culture is not always great for the end users or the community. An example of a common and implicit cultural rule or norm is that the person that makes the most money or the organization is the most important. People that work in this organization then, naturally, because it is the culture, start organizing themselves around ways to make more and more money. The ones at the top of the hierarchy are the ones that make the most money. 

An organisation such as 7cups cares less about money and more about compassion. We call out compassion and celebrate compassionate people because that is central to the work we do. 

A wise person once said: You teach what you know, but you reproduce who you are.
