Leading organizations are focusing on carving out appropriate values and creating such conditions that facilitate people to learn to live those values. This enhances organizational brand and helps in aligning people's attitudes and behaviors to business vision and goals. Thus, the focus is on personal development as well as organizational development.
But it has been found to be the most difficult task to do so. On the basis of your experience, what method/s do you suggest for this to happen so that people do not feel it stressful to learn and adapt to the new values?
You have to localise your tasks, you cannot ask the same thing for Greece and India for example, since culture is different and it is not need to flatten all people. After adapting to local mentality, then it would be easier to 'teach' your organizational culture.
I think you need to lead by example. In the ancient Indian system we believed in oral tradition for transferring knowledge. I think the same needs to be done here to. You should practice it before you preach.
Dear Debi, If personal values are much different than values of organization, I think such work will be only for some time for a person.. How to imbibe values which may connect employee with the tacit or core values ? I think good way is cognitive one as well as personal bright example of the leader and his/her coherence. Problems you usually are asking about are not so simple to quick respond. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your answers.
Because of intense competition, corporates are looking for the matching of the individual's values with those of the organization.
For example, Google is looking for values such as: passion, creativity, intellectual curiosity, solution-orientation, self-motivation, among others. if they do not find these in a candidate, they do not consider. Most of these values are difficult to develop.
On the other hand, there are values like accountability, life-long learning, team-work, excellence, etc are a little less difficult to develop. Corporates are trying hard to inculcate these in their employees.
Dear All, Lijo Francis, Patrick Low and others that you know are not able any longer to log in their RG account from yesterday. RG suspended their accounts without any reason. I don't know why, but I find this an outstanding abuse. Please help them and inform all other participants as this is a signal that things are not going in the right way in RG before it happens to you!
Regards
Gianni
Thanks Raoof and Gianni. I have sent invite to Patrick on the linkedin. I shall be grateful if you can do the same for Lijo as well.
best regards
Debi
Dear Gianni
thanks bringing this issue of grave import for all of us. I have reported this issue to RG as follows:
Dear Editor On behalf of 15 other members and my own behalf, I wish to bring an issue of grave concern to your kind notice. The RG accounts of two members Lijo and Patrick Low have been deleted without any notice or reasons to them. We are all concerned at it. We shall be grateful if the same are restored immediately, and the reasons are made known for the same.
With best regards Debi saini
It is possible some others have also reported the matter. Let us hope that their accounts are restored the soonest, and we get to know the reasons as well. Somehow, it appears to be a mistake to me.
