Not only is it happening it is unavoidable. Most people will simply
believe the behavior they see is best or at least good for the
organization and adopt the observed behaviors that best help meet their
own needs.
The questions management asks are reflections of their priorities. These
priorities are passed on in the questions. Energy and time is expended to
answer them. This in turn causes culture.
