Management Lessons : Identifying Work Culture...
Scenario : there is a room within the org which is dirty, brooms & dust pans & all items required to. clean it is available, yet....
some doesn't clean it as they claim they are yet to be instructed to clean it. they don't want to get into trouble doing something not told though its something good & right to do... (followers, unpractical & non proactive work culture)
some refrain from doing it claiming its not their task, but chooses to clear cobwebs instead, as that's their designated job, though there are no cobwebs at all... (work culture with no sense of belonging or altruism, avoidance work culture)
some refrain from cleaning it claiming they are loaded with many more things to do...(self centric, calculative & imbalanced work culture)
Someone chooses to do it & tries doing it, but the others mock & label the person willing to do it as a 'show off' or poyo making the person also not to clean the room...(perception prone & unproductive work culture)
a few who knows that its necessary to clean it as its impacts the org's impression,volunteers to clean the room but they are not allowed to do so by their superiors as its not their specific task...(unproductive & rigid workculture)
the remaining staff spends time debating on who should clean the room...(non constructive, finger pointing work culture)
some bosses are sad that a room is dirty & it's not being cleaned but does. nothing about it...(weak leadership work culture)
some bosses are not even aware that there is a dirty room & someone should clean it, some staff too doesn't know of the dirty room issue ( non participative work culture)
some staff agrees to just off the lights & shut the dirty room's lights to resolve the issue thus nobody knows or questions aboutbthe dirty room & claims to focus on other works... (brush things under the carpet work culture, lack of integrity, sense of belonging & just ensures no one knows anything & pictures like all are fine)
boss rolls up the sleeves, identifies those who are capable of cleaning the room & gets down together with the team & gets the room cleaned (participative & team spirited work culture)
a group of staff irrespective of their roles gets down & get the room cleaned without being told as they don't want a bad impression over their org (proactive & sense of belonging, high alturism based work culture)
boss finds out about the dirty room, screws the hell out of all the staff, and a few gets the room cleaned with hurt & frustration...(dependent & unproductive work culture)
boss knows the team which is supposed to clean the room but knows they will not do it & would give various reasons thus boss identifies a team which would follow orders & gets them to clean the room & the obedient team does while the supposed to clean team laughs & boast on it (poor leadership & unbalanced work culture)
boss & fellow colleagues informs the designated team to clean the room but they refrain to do it & doesn't give a damn about it.. (disapproval behavior work culture)
Everyone in the org ensure the room is cleaned applies preventive measures to ensure no room gets dirty or be unattended in future (proactive, participative, team spirited & constructive work culture)
work cultures are crucial as it determines the entire performance & functioning & well-being of an organization... if there is anything needs. to go through betterment, it better be & starts with 'work culture'
