"" OVERSEAS TROUBLES AFFECT THE WORKPLACE "

On July 9, 2004 a Senate panel assailed the CIA on Iraq, saying the prewar threat was overstated. The facts of interest in this article are not in the political aspects of this finding. The facts of interest are in the organizational and corporate culture dimensions that this particular report highlights, and the lessons you can take from this to apply to the corporate culture of your workplace.

" CHANGES CAN AND WILL IMPROVE PROFITS"

How is an organization’s corporate culture? And how can you trust it is not broken? Here is a quick list of twelve signs that a company's corporate culture is broken, or about to be:

1. Most office doors are closed most of the times, hiding what’s said behind them.
2. Top leadership does not “walk the talk.” They talk about sacrifices while keeping their executive previlidges. They talk about teamwork while stories of their in-fighting are everywhere.
3. People are afraid to bring critical issues up to their superiors.
4. People are punished for the failure of experimental projects.
5. Departments act as fiefdoms, do not collaborate and do not share information.
6. Managers blame each other for organizational problems.
7. There are separate cafeterias, parking, rest rooms, and other facilities for executives only.
8. Secreteries tend to bring coffee to their bosses and never the other way around.
9. You hear about things more through the rumor mill than through the organization’s communication channels.
10. There is pressure to do what the bosses want without regard to questions of ethics or personal integrity.
11. You do not see people like yourself in positions of responsibility, especailly among top leadership.
12. Training and HR practices are totally focused on advancing the organization’s interests with little or no attention to developing people’s talents and careers.


Corporations are sending their CEO's, salesmen, managers, and foremen to seminars that are held to improve working conditions, This process can be a new segment in a training session on leadership, supervision, culture, company morale, etc.
"FORD MOTORS MAKES CHANGES AT HOME & ABROAD "

Over the past years, staff at Ford have developed training materials for a new program staff that gets beyond anecdotes: They have cases for teaching program development skills; CD’s and videos of Ford grantmakers reflecting how they do their work: They started an annual two-week long training program for new program staff which is open to other foundations. They share teaching materials with others and are beginning to put them on their website under a tab “Tools for Grantmakers.” They believe foundations must develop a body of knowledge for practitioners and the public about good philanthropic practices, and are trying to do their part.

anyone knows a good case study of merger companies. a study of their corporate culture?

We Answered:

Think of the following transactions:
- merger of Nokia and Siemens Networks
- acquisition of Arcelor by Mittal
- acquisition of Genentech by Roche

... or have a look at some of the transactions collected in the top deals - there should be plenty of transactions that might be interesting for you - especially the cross-border transactions.

Niccolo Machiavelli wrote a management manual in the middle ages titled "The Prince". It's chock-full of employee management scenarios and advice.

Also, when Roman legions mutinied, they were lined up and counted off by 10's. Then a random number between 1 and 10 was chosen. The lucky 10% were all executed on the spot. In general, the remaining 90% started paying very close attention to the impression their actions would leave on others.

Your boss can't execute any of them, but he can fire them. I've personally found firing the most annoying and disruptive of the employees for insubordination works wonders. In this economy, it's no trouble at all to replace bad apples. Just make sure to tell the biggest gossip, in absolute confidence, why the problem employee was fired. If the biggest gossip is the problem employee, tell the second biggest gossip.

Oh, and the best way to earn respect is to never, never break a promise or fail to carry through on a threat. This is also the secret to dealing with young children.
