This document discusses organizational culture and work ethic. It defines organizational culture as "the way things are generally done here" and how a culture evolves over time through shared values, norms, and customs. A positive culture with high work ethic is characterized by accountability, integrity, and diligence, while a negative culture can involve corruption and favoritism. The document recommends defining an organization's vision and values, leading by example, and reinforcing traditions to promote a positive culture and high work ethic. Individual employees also have a responsibility to do their best and act ethically.

Culture is the unique dominant pattern of shared beliefs, assumptions, values, and norms that shape the socialization, symbols, language and practices of a group of people.
In every organization there is a talk about organizational culture, that mysterious word that characterizes the qualities of a work environment. One of the key questions and assessments, when employers interview a prospective employee, explores whether the candidate is a good cultural fit. Culture is difficult to define, but you generally know when you have found an employee who appears to fit your culture. He just feels right.
Among the many factors that affect an organization's ability to innovate, compete, and engage employees and customers is corporate culture. Corporate culture is the amalgamation of values, vision, mission, and the day-to-day aspects of communication, interaction, and operational goals that create the organizational Values..
Culture plays a vital role in determining business performance. Culture also affects the way staff approach their job. This presentation to veterinary practice managers and owners highlights some of the key aspects of organisational culture
Building an ethical workplace culture requires equal skills in policy-making and relationship-building, and equal emphasis on procedures and values. Structural concerns like codes, training and clear criteria matter, but so do storytelling, mentoring and presiding over an organization’s routines and ceremonies. In an ideal workplace, structures and relationships will work together around core values that transcend self-interest. Core values will inspire value-creating efforts as employees feel inspired to do what is right, even when the right thing is hard to do. The ethics of our workplace cultures matter because the work itself matters and requires the cooperation that only positive, virtuous ethics can sustain. Compliance keeps us out of trouble, but virtuous ethics will create value for our co-workers and for our organization.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
