Is Culture Change not Manipulating Employees?

Is this way of planned dealing with (changing) organization cultures not in fact a way to manipulate the work, minds and values of employees?
If yes, is this manipulation allowed, as changing the culture of an organization can be such a challenging and crucial task for its survival?

Flexibility of Employees

The influence of culture is crucial and must be understood well before making radical changes. Overall, it is necessary to lead by example starting from the top to the bottom of the organisation when it comes to changing certain aspects of culture. Well-documented and easy-to- read or understand standards of business principles or conduct must emphasise the need for cultural balance and flexibility in adapting to cultural change. The process is indeed a gradual one.
