Culture

Edgar Schein presents culture as a series of assumptions a person makes about the group in which they participate.

Below are some “red flags” that may indicate there is a problem with the culture of the organization.

I am interested in any others, so please add your anonymous thoughts here.

The results will be published soon.

Some Red Flags

• Inner circles or cliques
• A pattern of un-remediated errors or weaknesses
• Tightly controlled meetings (board agendas)
• Narcissistic or Imperial CEO
• Weak executive sessions
• Evaluations of senior leadership that rate each area as “outstanding.”
• View of the board by senior management (mushrooms, private club, etc.)
• What others (outsiders) say

Thank you!
