Its good to find a kindred sprit who has not drunk the Kool Aid and does not think that engagement is the greatest thing since color TV. When I worked for a large international consulting firm, we always used the word "climate" and many of my clients continued to use it long after the "engagement" period started. They found it has meaning for them. Your definition is useful, and I always like the fact that, with climate, one can stay in the meterological area and talk of micro-climates, which certainly exist in many organizations (as they do here in southern California).
