Question

You realize that having a robust culture is a necessary albeit insufficient condition for sustained organizational performance and you worry that all this change has negatively affected company culture. Because of this, you decide to:

a. re-emphasize the values of the original founder, in order to remind employees of their history and the core of the company

b. ensure cultural continuity by retaining the central values and traditions of the firm

c. sit down by yourself and come up with a completely new set of values which will be printed on all the company stationery and cards

d. none of the above

Answer 1

A strong culture has a significant influence on the behavior of the employees in the organization. In a strong culture, employees behave and perform collectively instead of acting in individual authorities. When an organization is going through a downfall in terms of performance and the culture of the organization starts getting affected, it is the time to reintroduce the employees with the history and core values of the organization through the example of the founder and important leaders who had served exceptionally. Therefore, the correct option is (a). Other options are irrelevant. Ensuring culture continuity by retaining certain values won't help. Also, it is not the time to sit down and come up with a new set of values but reintroduce the employees with the history and core values.
