Culture Is Learned
Captions available
The idea
Edgar Schein defined organisational culture as shared basic assumptions a group has learned while solving its problems, and teaches newcomers as the correct way to think.
In practice
New employees learning what really gets rewarded by watching who is promoted, protected and punished.
Where people slip
The book stresses Schein's key word, learned: culture is absorbed from observed consequences, not designed in a mission statement.
