“Culture” is the “miasma“ of management theories.
And in like half the cases I think of as really well-run effective companies, the "culture" crowd would call the culture toxic/bad/broken/dysfunctional etc. (and in fact do exactly that). They can't recognize that it's actually working beautifully. They just don't belong there.

The huge weakness of "culture" as a reference frame is that "not a fit for me" is VERY easy to confuse for "broken and doesn't work at all." Nearly all cultures work. They just may not be working for you. The answer is rarely "fix culture", but to move.

I'm definitely thinking of "culture works" = the goals are hit, not that it's a fit for an individual. To me culture/values must fit the strategy/mission on an org and the people are hired by their fit to that strategy/mission/culture/values.
