Document Summary
Symbols are basic elements of culture that people shape to fit unique circumstances. Symbols stimulate energy in moments of triumph and offer solace in times of tribulation.

Myths, operating at a mystical level, are the story behind the story. All organizations rely on myths or sagas of varying strength and intensity which often originate in the launching of an enterprise.
