In some departments, the weather is mild while others are in a deep freeze or subject to frequent storms. All can suffer erosion and, over time, high mountains can be reduced to hills, plains or even canyons. The weather can encourage people to meet or to hide, to travel or to stay put, and can shut down communication. In some places the conditions are constant but their opposites see changes within minutes.
Leaders can cause an organization's climate and that ability operates for good or bad. Tucked within a company in which the overall environment is hostile, one may find an oasis or a cozy nook that is hospitable and even highly desirable.
Whenever you see that, you know a leader has made a positive difference by building the power of "We" and limiting the influence of "They."
