The design for the paper was theoretical, as such it offered indepth discourse on the concepts – organizational culture, team management and organizational performance, and also drew on theories and research content which identify and support the evidence of a relationship between organizational culture, team management and organizational performance. In conclusion, it was stated that organizational culture is a strong indicator of the positioning and effectiveness of teams in the organization; and to a substantial extent, determines the usefulness of such teams to the overall success and performance of the organization.
