I think the first part is very much related to culture eating strategy for breakfast, in that you can’t turn a ship with good intentions. I had not considered the second part and it is an incredibly relevant point. I will definitely take any firther insights you have.
I replied here in the hopes that the thread being busy would encourage more people to take part.
Sure thing! Here are some other thoughts your survey brought to mind:
I think of business culture as the way people behave when a leader isn’t there giving direction. So, sota in line with your perspective. But unlike the culture of a country, I think a business’ culture is defined by behaviors (as opposed to beliefs).
In the last 40 years, public corporations have focused on profits and shareholder value. But I think it is a huge mistake to ignore the other groups the business impacts and influences, such as their customers, their employees and the community they are in. My perspective is that unless all of those things are looked after, the business will become terrible over time (Boeing is like a case study on this).
Not mentioned in your survey, but a pet peeve is the lack of development and mentorship of staff. Most teams could be so much stronger with the right support, oversight and development. But it requires a lot of elbow grease, which managers and leaders are unwilling to put in. To me, this is so wrong it boarders on unethical. But, at least in the US, it is pervasive across businesses.
