I have no idea what the culture of the Jacket organization is. I'm pretty sure most if not all the posters here have no real idea either. I'm guessing there are a few sub-cultures that exist.The most important one being the team culture made up of the players and the coaches. That culture should be what Not Wendelll said earlier -"Culture the behavior you allow, the behavior you reward, and the behavior you won't stand for. It's defined and reinforced every single day." I also think Jax got it right in the post above "Culture is a way of adhering to a set of self governing or self discipline handed down between players. The captain is in charge of culture as well as leaders on team. A coach is also involved. Hierarchy on a team or anywhere else sets the standard."
Get the right coach who can relate to his players on their level not his and have players who buy into what the coach is saying and "culture" issues go away.
I think it is also incumbent on the GM to make sure he understands the team culture or chemistry if you will and staff the roster with players that fit. I'm not sure Jarmo has done a good job of this.
All of the other culture issues that have been put forth are not all that important imo.
