Interesting article, I like it!

From what I've seen in the various companies that I've worked at, corporate culture permeates everything the corporation does. It impacts the attitudes and values of every employee.

And it is very, very hard to change even when executive leadership is proactively working at changing the corporate culture. Turning the ship around can take many years of executive driven & focused change.

While grassroots change, by the individual contributors, is nigh impossible to be an agent of change... more likely the boat-rocker will be managed out of the company.

There is a simplified model of corporate culture called Six Boxes that I think does a good job at describing culture and individual behaviors.
