approaches: incentives and unique perks but none of those approaches address
the deeper issue of why employees are so disengaged

![Page 16: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
what is culture? culture … is how organizations do things!
the values, beliefs and behaviors practiced in an organization because of shared subconscious assumptions and tacit beliefs
![Page 17: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
culture is “A pattern of shared basic assumptions that the group learned as
it solved its problems that has worked well enough to be considered valid and is passed on to new members as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel
in relation to those problems.”
Edgar Schein
MIT psychology professor
‘Organizational Culture
and Leadership’
![Page 18: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
culture and ingrained assumptions tacit and below the surface
they are not easy to see or deal with although they affect everything the organization does
![Page 19: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
‘culture is not a surface phenomenon …
… it is our very core’
Edgar Schein
![Page 20: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
the organizational culture model by Edgar Schein
![Page 21: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
the organizational culture model by Edgar Schein
![Page 22: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
the Schein’s model – artifacts and behaviors
are defined as elements that sets the behavioral norms and standards in an organization
it includes the dress codes, furniture and architecture, office humor that altogether reflects the culture prevailing in an
organization
they are the visible elements that make up the corporate culture of an organization
![Page 23: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
the Schein’s model – values
values underlie and, to a large extent, determine behavior, but they are not directly observable (as behaviors are)
there may be a difference between stated and operating values
are frequently expressed through norms–characteristic attitudes and accepted behaviors
“the unwritten rules on the street”– and every employee quickly picks them up
![Page 24: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
the Schein’s model – basic assumptions
the deepest level
basic assumptions are known as the norms and behaviors that are embedded deep within the culture of an organization
these behaviors are taken for granted and very well integrated within the office dynamics that are hardly recognizable
![Page 25: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
culture fundamentals – important insights from Edgar Schein
![Page 26: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
culture is a result of what an organization has learned
from dealing with problems and
organizing itself internally
![Page 27: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
‘culture determines and limits strategy’
![Page 28: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
‘the only thing of real importance that leaders do is to create and manage culture’
‘If you do not manage culture, it manages you, and
you may not even be aware of the extent to which this is happening.’
![Page 29: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
‘culture matters to the extent an organization is
adaptive’ ‘culture really only matters when there is a problem.
In the same sense, that personality only matters when things aren’t working right for you.
Otherwise it’s just there. It’s part of you.’
![Page 30: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
‘I like to think of culture to be like the lily pond.’
‘… do not oversimplify culture. It’s far more than “how we do things around here.”
![Page 31: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
‘leaders should focus on a business problem not on culture change’
![Page 32: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
‘your culture always helps or hinders problem solving’
![Page 33: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
‘solve problems …’ ‘… by identifying and resolving
associated discrepancies between values and behavior’
![Page 34: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
‘be very specific about behavior …’ ‘… how it’s impacting your problem and what is the future state of
the behavior that you want to see’
![Page 35: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
‘culture is a group phenomenon …’ ‘… engage focus groups to define
how the culture is helping or hindering work on a problem’
![Page 36: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
‘working on the solution to your business problem …’
‘… don’t focus on culture because it can be a bottomless pit. Again, get groups involved in solving problems’
![Page 37: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
change begins … ‘the evidence is mounting that real change does not begin until the organization experiences some real threat of pain
that in some way dashes its expectations or hope open to the possibility of learning.’
![Page 38: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
change and learning anxiety ‘… change creates learning anxiety’
![Page 39: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
learning anxiety can be fueled of the fear of … … loss of power/position
… temporary incompetence … subsequent punishment … loss of personal identity
… loss of group membership
![Page 40: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
‘the higher the learning anxiety is, the stronger is the resistance and the defensiveness’
![Page 41: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
‘the only way to overcome resistance is to reduce the learning anxiety
by making the learner feel “psychologically safe”
![Page 42: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
create ‘psychological safety’
communicating a compelling vision
formal training
involvement of the learner
informal training of groups
practice fields coaches and feedback
positive role model
support groups in which learning problems are discussed and consistent
systems and structures with the new way of thinking and working
![Page 43: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
‘the change goal must be defined concretely … ’
‘… in terms of the specific problem you are trying to fix, not as culture change.
The change may not be possible without cognitive redefinition whereby people will have to unlearn the former way of working to learn the new one.
This unlearning period is psychologically painful.
These new cultural elements can only be learned if the new behavior leads to
success and satisfaction.’
![Page 44: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
exploring organizational culture – an exercise
![Page 45: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
culture is like a garden
a garden needs constant care and nurturing if it is to grow and thrive
![Page 46: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
exploring organizational culture – typical behavior patterns
‘If someone came fresh to our workplace, what would particularly
strike them?’
‘How would we characterize people’s interaction in our
organization?’
![Page 47: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
exploring organizational culture – stated values
‘What do we say we value in our organization?’
‘Do we always live up to these values, or are there different values
sometimes displayed in what we do?’
![Page 48: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
exploring organizational culture –
fundamental assumptions
‘What views and attitudes do we take for granted?’
‘What assumptions underlying our work are simply not questioned?’
![Page 49: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
exploring organizational culture - reflection
‘Which aspects of our culture do we think are enabling us to innovate?’
‘Which aspects of our culture are inhibiting us or are obstacles?’
![Page 50: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
culture is not a shortcut to successful corporate change
![Page 51: culture and organizational change - important insights from Edgar Schein](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022021502/589e34df1a28ab5c128b7383/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
