6. Working with Other Culture
• Figure out your dominant or core culture.
• Try to move to your adjacent culture, and
not to a culture that is opposite to your
core culture.
• With reference to Schneider culture model,
transformation is a shift from one core
culture to another.

An organization can undergo a transformation only to

Hence, let the employees embrace the change at
their own pace first.
