Problem:
As mentioned, a successful organization understands the cultural differences in various divisions or branches. It uses culture to overcome management challenges, implement strategic initiatives, and develop business opportunities.
Organizations with an exceptional culture are usually run by leaders who understand and practice effective cultural leadership principles. A culture or sub-culture that works effectively in one part of an organization may not work well in another. Those who have made it to the top have done so by building a high performance workplace around the corporate culture.
Kenneth Daily has asked you to be part of a special task force focused on putting together a proposal for developing a high performance work culture at Green River.
As a team you should consider concepts examined so far (the unit 1-3 topics) and their impact on developing a healthy culture. Consider what will be involved and how prior recommendations could enhance the culture at Green River.
Task Force Directive:
Step 1:
Each team member is asked to prepare a 1 page Word document with well developed ideas for enhancing the culture at Green River. This document should include recommendations for (at minimum) 3 ideas for enhancing the culture. Each recommendation should be well developed, explaining how that idea will enhance the culture at Green River. This should be prepared in Word and copied to the DB so that others may provide feedback. Make sure that you review the concepts within the textbook and provide organizational behavioral terminology that relates to culture. Please provide a good rationale for your new ideas. Your work MUST include a reference list. All research should be cited in the body of the paper per APA guidelines. Reports without citations are unacceptable. Your report should contain an abstract, a short introduction, and conclusion in addition to the body of the paper. You are also welcome to express thoughts regarding your own work culture and inform your team members of the positive and negative aspects regarding your work environment within the DB board.
