Learn how to diagnose and shape the culture of your group or organization!
Organizational culture and leadership are undoubtedly 2 of the most powerful factors behind an organization’s performance and survival. Yet, these concepts can be extremely complex and frustrating to grasp and manage. What exactly is culture? And, what can leaders (if anything) do to truly understand and shape their group’s culture? In this book, the “father” of organizational culture, Edgar Schein, presents powerful definitions, frameworks and models that any researcher or practitioner can use to understand culture and leadership in depth.
Here are some powerful takeaways you’ll gain from this summary:
• Uncover specific frameworks and models for understanding a culture and its interrelated components. This includes: the (i) 4 categories of culture (macroculture, organizational culture, subculture, microculture), (ii) the 3 levels of culture (artifacts, beliefs/values and assumptions), and the (iii) content or dimensions to which cultural assumptions can be applied (assumptions about external environment, internal integration, reality/truth, time/space, human nature).
• Understand the considerations for diagnosing culture, including research methodology, ethical issues and internal/external risks involved;
• Find out how groups evolve naturally in 4 stages, and how leaders can shape culture deliberately at each stage with certain change mechanisms. Learn the 3 stages and 10-steps for diagnosing, designing and implementing cultural change.
