"'Congruence' is a social science term for cultural “fit” among an institution’s components—values, goals, vision, self-concepts, and leadership styles. Since the 1980s, [[congruence]] has been a pillar of organizational theory. An effective culture is both consistent and strong. When all signals point clearly in the same direction, it promotes self-reinforcing consistency, and people like consistency." --- **Tags** — [[quotes]], [[culture]], [[culture]], [[consistency]] [[congruence]] **Source** — [[202308101402 — B — Range]]
