Adlt 623 Understanding Org Culture Part I Modifiedtjcarter
The document discusses Edgar Schein's views on organizational culture, including that leaders create culture when forming groups and organizations, and that cultures will manage leaders if they are not conscious of the embedded cultures. It also outlines Schein's three levels of culture: artifacts, espoused values, and underlying assumptions. At the deepest level are underlying assumptions, which are beliefs and attitudes that are unconsciously held and not easily visible.
Understanding Organizational Culture Part Iitjcarter
Schein argues that organizational culture and leadership are intertwined, with leaders first creating the culture when they establish an organization. He notes that culture becomes embedded over time through shared experiences and that leaders must become aware of the existing culture they are a part of, otherwise that culture will dictate how the leaders act. The document discusses Schein's three levels of culture - artifacts, espoused values, and underlying assumptions - and asks the reader to consider what cultural artifacts, values, and assumptions may have existed at Enron based on information from the film "The Smartest Guys in the Room."
This document outlines Edgar Schein's model of organizational culture, which consists of three levels - artifacts (visible organizational structures and processes), espoused values (strategies, goals, philosophies), and basic underlying assumptions (unconscious beliefs that determine perception and behavior). The deepest level of basic assumptions is the most influential on member behavior and is the hardest to change. The presentation is based on Schein's teachings from his book Organizational Culture and Leadership.
SCLY3 – power and politics: defining powerCharlotte Rout
Topic 1 of power and politics: includes Weber and power, Functionalism and power, Marxism and power, Postmodernism and power, gender and power, sources of power
How are the sacred and the profane seen in the world—and in religion? Are they separate or intertwined? Here are the views of Emile Durkheim, Rudolf Otto, Father Greeley, Peter Berger and others.
Weber is analyzing Benjamin Franklin's writings on virtues like industry, frugality, and punctuality which emphasize earning and accumulating money. Weber argues this reflects an "ethos" or spirit of capitalism where life's main purpose becomes acquiring wealth through diligent work. While greed has always existed, Weber asserts this Protestant work ethic was crucial for capitalism's development by motivating behaviors that increased profits. It conflicted with traditional views but was embraced by rising middle classes who saw work as a religious duty. This ethic helped overturn older systems where workers prioritized leisure, establishing competitive capitalism focused on low costs and high productivity.
1. Scientific management and psychological humanism both aim to manage human nature to obtain better workers, with scientific management viewing people as naturally 'bad' and psychological humanism viewing people as naturally 'good'.
2. Durkheim analyzed how lack of social solidarity can lead to higher suicide rates, and how organizations regulate themselves to ensure workers 'fit in'.
3. Weber analyzed how rational organization of labor through bureaucracy legitimizes power over workers, identified forms of social action and authority, and discussed bureaucracy as creating an 'iron cage' of rationality in modern society.
Chapter 1: Ethics and our Human Potentialities
Chapter 1 describes our more general or ‘core’ human potentialities, those potentialities at the heart of what it means to be ‘human’ and that in a sense ‘compel us to become who we are’, hence the reference to ‘forces’. In effect, we could also say those potentialities leading to what could be described as our core human qualities.
The following will examine the characteristics and dynamics of these potentialities as they serve to bring about and shape ethical behavior on one hand and on the other, how they are generally affected by ethical dynamics. Specifically, we will examine:
• Consciousness and conscious will;
• A sense of self and personal identity; and,
• Our potential - capacity - for vision and hope.
As the graphic below aims to describe, these core human potentialities – forces – are always in synergy and behave as a whole:
As we proceed, we will focus on the emergence and manifestation of these potentialities – forces - mainly in the context of the individual. Nonetheless, as we will see later, these potentialities are also applicable to our social structures as living systems e.g., our institutions and their organizations, and to our socio-political landscapes small and large as examples, what we often experience in our institutional encounters as institutional ‘consciousness’ or sense of ‘vision’ or, when we travel, what could also be applied to societies as a whole.

How does develop one's ability to influence the world around them? How does one act and impact rather than being acted upon? How does one integrate the multiple parts/ identities of self to make a "whole"/ integrated you? Some thoughts based on reading/ understanding of Erich Fromm's work and writings....
Core human potentialities or forces described in Chapter 1: consciousness and conscious will, a sense of self and personal identity and, vision and hope, have been in synergy – arising with - what will be described as our ‘cognitive (social) structures and potentialities’, those structures and potentialities which foster the creation of potentially rich individual and social realities; hence, the reference to ‘cognitive’ structures and potentialities – those bringing about our ‘human’ world -, but equally, to social structures and potentialities - those bringing about our ‘social’ world -.
Socio-political landscapes – our social 'playing field’ - where domain contributions via ethical dynamics, come together to create evolving and potentially relevant landscape realities. Specifically, this Chapter addresses our socio-political structures:
• Domains – Structures that give social relevance to our cognitive potentialities – an ‘intentionality’;
• Institutions (Individuals and Societies) – Our core socio-political ‘relational’ structures; and,
• Socio-political landscapes – Our ‘playing field’ for the creation of ‘landscape realities’.
Here, ethical dynamics are viewed as dependent on the dynamics of authority and power, those dynamics that reflect our socio-political instincts for survival and growth on our many socio-political landscapes.
Overall, ethics will be viewed as a competitive phenomenon where the ethics of the individual as an example, are mediated on an ongoing basis via the individual’s institutional participation, and similarly for institutions between themselves and, on a broader stage, for our different societies via as an example, international institutions.
This document discusses key characteristics of living systems and their relationship to ethics. It outlines that living systems are defined by cognition, autopoiesis, structural coupling, and dissipative structures. Ethics can be understood as the synergy between these living system dynamics and how they affect the network's ability to self-organize and components to grow. Key ethical questions examine whether landscape dynamics foster the potentialities of the network and its components through open and responsible structures that promote participation and contribution.
Aristotle believed that the chief good for humans is eudaimonia or happiness. He defined this as achieving all goods like health, wealth, knowledge, and friends through a complete lifetime to perfect human nature. Aristotle viewed moral virtue as a mean between extremes of deficiency and excess regarding behavior. He distinguished between intellectual virtue developed through teaching and moral virtue developed through practice of habits over time in accordance with one's nature. Moral virtue involves finding the golden mean between excess and deficiency for each virtue.
This document discusses integrating individual identity ("I-culture") with collective identity ("We-culture") to achieve wholeness. It argues that modern societies emphasize rationality and individualism while traditional societies emphasize tradition and collectivism. Both approaches are incomplete when separated. True wholeness involves integrating both modes of awareness through embracing paradox and updating beliefs to incorporate greater knowledge of interconnectedness. Discriminating between "I" and "We" modes points to areas for personal growth through digesting fears and deepening experience of wholeness.
Definitions of emotional intelligence and leadershipMobilink
The document discusses definitions of emotional intelligence and leadership from various publications over several decades. It traces how the definitions and understanding of emotional intelligence has evolved from focusing on abilities like emotion perception and regulation to also include competencies in handling relationships. Similarly for leadership, early definitions emphasized influencing others towards goals, but modern definitions highlight leadership as a relationship between leaders and followers to achieve shared objectives through change. The document provides an overview of how thinking and definitions around these topics have developed over time.
This document discusses social identity theory, which proposes that people have both personal identities and social identities based on their group memberships. It describes how social identity impacts communication and behavior. Key points include:
- Social identity is how people define themselves based on their group memberships rather than individual attributes.
- Groups use prototypes or ideals to define themselves and differentiate from other groups.
- Stereotyping can occur when viewing other groups through the lens of a prototype rather than as individuals.
- Communication helps shape social identities and how groups understand themselves.
This document summarizes and analyzes several theoretical explanations of elites and applies them to Myanmar. It discusses Pareto's concept of social elites and the circulation of elites. For Mosca, it examines the ruled minority and the interaction between ruling and non-ruling classes. Michels' iron law of oligarchy and the dominance of political classes is also considered. The document applies these concepts to Myanmar's post-colonial period and concludes that the role of elites in Myanmar meets the criteria of these theories, particularly those of Mosca and Michels. It finds the current elites remain dynamic and that elite leadership is inevitable given Myanmar's political culture.
This document discusses how society is organized through social groups and kinship structures. It defines key concepts like primary and secondary groups, social categories, networks, and kinship by blood and marriage. Regarding kinship, it outlines different types of descent like patrilineal and matrilineal, and kinship groups like clans and lineages. Marriage is presented as central to kinship systems, with explanations of monogamy, polygamy, and forms like sororal polygyny. Family types covered include the nuclear, extended, single-parent, and blended models.
The document discusses several leadership models and archetypes:
1. Miyamoto Musashi's leadership philosophy emphasized mental calmness ("bujutsu") and physical skill ("kenjutsu") through discipline and mastery of techniques.
2. Barber's presidential leadership model examines a leader's character, worldview, leadership style, and how they navigate their political situation and public expectations.
3. The "American Monomyth" depicts heroes rising up to save a threatened community and returning order, influencing expectations of leaders.
4. Traditional archetypes portrayed women's roles negatively, creating biases that still influence perceptions of female leadership. Overcoming past influences requires self-reflection on one's values
Overall, the approach considers that ethics have their origins in our human nature, not in religion or ideology, however important they may have been in shaping our natural impulses. And, since we live and grow in a social milieu, it describes ethics as being driven by our socio-political instincts – politics - for survival and growth (with its ‘ups and downs’) and, that ethics are shaped by whoever – individual or institution – can garner what is described as authority and power.
More specifically, the approach views ethics as the expression of our ongoing or day to day relationship commitments and qualities – generally those that define who we are and what we do -, their associated principles and norms (what is sometimes referred to as ethics), and their hierarchy of core values or ethical aspirations, hence the reference and emphasis on ‘ethical dynamics’, in effect those real life dynamics that impact on what we do and what we bring about.
From a practical perspective, the approach constitutes a multi-dimensional template applicable to an individual, an institution or a social context as a whole e.g., an institution and its organization, while each of its separate frameworks can be used to address specific ethical, and we could also say, performance, issues.
This document provides an overview of Immanuel Kant's deontological ethics. It discusses that for Kant, morality is concerned with doing one's duty rather than personal gain. Kant believed there is a single "Categorical Imperative" or universal obligation that forms the basis of moral rules and duties. For an action to have moral worth, it must be done purely out of respect for the moral law as one's duty, not because of personal interests or desires. The Categorical Imperative takes an unconditional form of "Do X" rather than a conditional "If X, then Y" structure like hypothetical imperatives.
The document discusses several models of African and African American personality and identity. It describes the key aspects of these models, including emphasizing connection to nature, interdependence, collective identity or "we-ness", and the importance of history, spirituality, and community. The core is proposed to be a spiritual substance or divine essence that reflects natural order and rhythm. Key theorists discussed include Nobles, Akbar, Williams, and Kambon and their constructs of African self-concept, collective black mind, and the importance of African centered institutions for cultural preservation.
This document discusses the concept of values in sociology. It begins by noting that while sociologists often reference values and norms, they tend to do so cursorily without rigorous conceptualization or measurement of values. The document then addresses three questions: (1) What are values? It argues values are distinct from but related to attitudes, traits, norms, and needs. (2) Where do values come from? It discusses cultural and social influences on values. (3) What do values do? It explores how values relate to behaviors, judgments, and social order. The document aims to revive serious study of values in sociology by clarifying conceptual issues and reviewing empirical research.
Organizational culture is defined as the shared beliefs, assumptions, values, and norms that shape how an organization functions. A strong organizational culture provides members with a sense of identity, stability, and guides appropriate behaviors. Culture is created by founders and leaders, and transmitted to new members through socialization processes like training and stories. While culture provides benefits, it can also hinder change and diversity if not managed properly.
This document discusses organizational culture and compares Western and Eastern cultures. It defines organizational culture and discusses its key elements, including shared assumptions, values, norms, symbols, language, practices, and socialization. It describes four main types of organizational culture - bureaucratic, clan, market, and entrepreneurial. Building a strong organizational culture involves having a common behavioral style, approaches, norms, and socializing new members through careful selection, training, rewarding desired behaviors, and role modeling. Socialization can lead to job satisfaction, performance, and commitment or dissatisfaction and low performance. Finally, it contrasts some differences between Western and Eastern cultures.
This document discusses creating and diagnosing organizational culture. It begins by defining organizational culture as the shared assumptions and beliefs that influence how an organization functions. Leaders play a key role in shaping culture through what they emphasize, reward, and role model. The document outlines different types of organizational cultures and how culture impacts decision-making and performance. It provides methods for diagnosing an organization's existing culture and introduces strategies leaders can use to establish and reinforce a new culture.
Organizational culture is a system of shared assumptions, values, and beliefs, which governs how people behave in organizations. These shared values have a strong influence on the people in the organization and dictate how they dress, act, and perform their jobs.
This document discusses school culture and its impact. It defines culture as the shared values, beliefs, customs, and practices within a school. A school's culture is shaped by both visible structures and underlying assumptions. The principal plays a key role in developing culture through priorities, reactions, resource allocation, and role modeling. A positive culture features leadership, celebration, honesty, participation and openness to change. It impacts teaching and learning. A toxic culture lacks direction and trust, and features fear, competition and control. Lastly, successfully changing culture requires understanding the current culture and supporting new ideas that better achieve a shared vision.

Organizational Culture and Structure (2).pptxAbedElharazin1
This document discusses organizational culture and structure. It defines culture and explains that culture is learned and helps groups solve problems. It also discusses how globalization impacts organizational culture. Different types of organizational structures are described like centralized vs decentralized structures. Factors that impact organizational culture and the importance of having the right culture for organizational improvement are also covered.
Organizational cultures can be defined as shared values, norms, and practices that influence how people and groups interact and perform their work. There are several key features of organizational culture, including shared values and beliefs among members, common norms and meanings, and rituals and ceremonies. Leadership plays a central role in developing and shaping organizational culture to align with strategic goals. However, organizational culture can also have limitations if the leader imposes their views without input or if symbols are misrepresented. Ultimately, understanding how culture influences people within an organization is important for effective leadership.
Organizational cultures can be defined as shared values, norms, and practices that influence how people and groups interact and perform their work. A key aspect of organizational culture is that it is developed socially over time and difficult to change. Successful leadership requires understanding how to work within the existing culture or shape it over time to align with strategic goals. While culture can promote cohesion, it also presents limitations such as imposing the views of some leaders onto others or becoming too rigid in its practices. Ultimately, organizational culture is shaped by the people within it and influences their behaviors and performance.
Organizational culture can be defined as the shared beliefs, assumptions, values, and norms that shape how an organization functions. There are three key aspects for a culture to exist: it must be shared by most group members, passed down over generations, and influence behaviors and perceptions. An organization's culture includes both observable elements like practices and language as well as deeper levels involving values, assumptions, and socialization. Maintaining a strong organizational culture involves having consistent behaviors across the organization, shared approaches to problem-solving, and common rules around rewards and punishments. The socialization process is key to building and transmitting an organization's culture to new members.
The document discusses school culture and the role of leadership in shaping culture. It defines culture as the shared values, beliefs, and practices within a school. School culture is transmitted through both visible artifacts and underlying assumptions. The document outlines that effective leaders shape culture by understanding the current culture, assessing which elements support the school's mission, and reinforcing positive aspects while transforming negative ones. A positive culture has characteristics like leadership, celebration of success, honesty and participation, while a negative culture exhibits weaknesses like lack of direction and trust. The biggest influence on culture is the priorities and behaviors modeled by school leaders.

This document outlines a session on using social media to build coalitions and respond to racism on campus. The session aims to:
1) Share experiences of racism and oppression, consider social identities' influence on activism, and explore power dynamics in social justice movements.
2) Provide an overview of social media tools and how to engage them to build community and respond to oppression.
3) Develop strategies for meaningful engagement and accountability in social media activism.
The document discusses HRD culture and its importance in organizations. It defines HRD culture and organizational culture. It outlines the significance of culture for communication and efficiency. It describes four common types of cultures - authoritarian, participative, mechanistic, and organic. Finally, it discusses how culture is learned through stories, rituals, symbols, and language in the organization.
This document discusses organizational culture and defines it as the underlying values, beliefs, and practices shared by members of an organization that distinguish it from other organizations. It notes that culture is learned rather than inherited, and identifies key factors that influence and develop organizational culture, such as leaders, critical incidents, rewards systems, and recruitment practices. The document also outlines different types of organizational cultures, such as power, role, task, and person-oriented cultures, and explains how culture manifests itself in organizational behavior through corporate values, climate, and management style.
The document discusses building an inclusive culture through diversity and managing diversity effectively. It defines diversity and lists different diversity factors like gender, age, ethnicity, etc. It discusses the benefits of a diverse workforce, challenges of managing diversity, and strategies for overcoming biases and resolving conflicts. It emphasizes the importance of inclusion and distinguishing performance issues from diversity issues. It provides steps to implement effective diversity training programs, which include starting with a vision statement, conducting a cultural audit, and designing training content and methods.
This document discusses organizational culture and leadership climate. It defines organizational culture as comprising of the core beliefs and assumptions, values and norms, and artifacts of an organization. The core beliefs and assumptions shape the values and norms, which then influence behaviors and artifacts. Leadership climate refers to the beliefs and perceptions of organizational members regarding leadership, which are shaped by what leaders pay attention to, how they react to situations, and how they role model behaviors. The document provides examples of how leaders can establish a positive leadership climate through actions such as communicating a vision, encouraging initiative, rewarding risk-taking, sharing decision-making, and modeling high ethical standards.

This document discusses organizational culture and its impact on creativity and innovation. It defines culture as shared values, beliefs, and behavioral norms that are learned by organizational members. Certain cultural norms like idea generation, risk-taking and tolerance of mistakes promote creativity, while others like teamwork and flexibility support innovation implementation. Strong cultures can help drive innovation if they foster these types of norms and allow for social cohesion, but not if they overly demand conformity. In summary, an organization's culture plays a key role in shaping its creative processes.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies.

Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
