From the Paper:

"While the debate over "nature versus nurture" continues, many authorities agree that some leaders are born while others can learn how to become effective leaders in an organizational environment. Because virtually everything that characterizes a society is based on humanity, and a society's culture is based on what humans do, say, want and feel, the relationship between organizational culture and the larger society in which it exists are absolutely inextricable. In the increasingly multicultural society that exists in the United States today, these issues have assumed new relevance and importance."
