Publications on leadership culture, interdependence, and the direction, alignment, and commitment (DAC) framework

Here are links to some of our own and others' publications on leadership culture and its development. For more information contact Charles J. (Chuck) Palus at the Center for Creative Leadership.

Leadership culture is the self-reinforcing web of beliefs and activities that produce shared direction, alignment, and commitment in an organization or collective.
