Organizational Culture
(Supplementary Notes)
Learning Points:
1. Conflict can “poison” the organization as well as those who work within it. Managers need to reduce the effects of organizational toxins and maintain organizational health. A healthy workplace is good for every individual as well as its stockholders.
2. Don’t overlook the importance of high EI in the work of a good conflict manager. The ability to influence your own and others’ emotions is not just a practical tool, but it can also serve as an important tactical asset, making you a better negotiator in a variety of situations and helping reduce conflict and increase productivity in your organization.
3. Culture provides us with ready-made solutions for basic human problems and a sense of identity, but it also limits our ability to see and sometimes appreciate alternative behaviors.
4. Multicultural groups can be the source of learning and creativity, but only when groups can be open about their differences and use them to enhance understanding.
