Barnard also drew attention to the importance of the informal aspects of an organisation and the critical communication role played by managers. He emphasised the need for managers to shape and manage a system of shared values in the organisation and, in so doing, acknowledged and delineated a symbolic role for leadership. Another classical philosopher, whose work challenged the classical approach to production and helped to shape the organisational culture perspective, was Elton Mayo. While Mayo barely rates a mention in Ott’s review, he has been credited elsewhere (Trice & Beyer, 1993) with having conducted the first systematic research into the influence of social (cultural) factors on the performance and behaviour of work groups.
For example, as indicated in the following excerpt from his book Leadership in Administration, published in 1957, Selznick anticipated the notion of ‘strong cultures’ and provided valuable insights into their essential character: Where institutionalization is well advanced, distinctive outlooks, habits and other commitments are unified, coloring all aspects of organizational life and lending it a social integration that goes well beyond formal coordination and command (p. 40). Selznick also wrote about the important function of organisational myths (as opposed to more formal means) as a vehicle for the diffusion of shared values within an organisation.

For example, as indicated in the following excerpt from his book Leadership in Administration, published in 1957, Selznick anticipated the notion of ‘strong cultures’ and provided valuable insights into their essential character: Where institutionalization is well advanced, distinctive outlooks, habits and other commitments are unified, coloring all aspects of organizational life and lending it a social integration that goes well beyond formal coordination and command (p.
