The Organizational Structure

组织结构


Today, I had the privilege of visiting a company. They graciously served me and arranged for one of their middle-level team members to pick me up in their luxurious car. While this may seem like a common occurrence, the message conveyed to other employees could be detrimental - "to pursue opportunities for promotion, one must be willing to act as a driver for their boss." Is this the culture that they want to project?


The culture of an organization is based on the small things that are repeated and ingrained until they become habits and values. Every action, word, and behavior of an organization projects one or more hidden messages. Your team members will follow your example, even in unexpected ways, so please don't assume that they won't.


It is crucial to be mindful of the messages that your actions convey to your team members. The organization's culture is only as strong as the habits and values that are consistently practiced and reinforced.


So, let's lead by example and ensure that the culture we project aligns with our values and goals.




今天,我有幸参观了一家公司。他们热情地招待我,并安排了一位他们的中层团队成员用他们的豪华车来接我。虽然这可能看起来很普遍,但传递给其他员工的信息可能是有害的——“为了追求晋升机会,必须愿意担任老板的司机。”这是他们想要展示的文化吗?


一个组织的文化基于重复和根深蒂固的小事物,直到它们成为习惯和价值观。组织的每个行动、话语和行为都传递一个或多个隐藏的信息。你的团队成员会以你为榜样,即使是在意想不到的方式,所以请不要认为他们不会。


必须注意你的行动向团队成员传递的信息。组织的文化只有在一贯地实践和加强习惯和价值观时才会变得强大。


因此,让我们以身作则,确保我们所展示的文化符合我们的价值观和目标。


Love. David
