\"\"<\/a>Workplace culture is both a \u201chot\u201d and<\/u> important topic in the world today.\u00a0 Companies, organizations, and government agencies are all struggling with the reality that they have seriously unhealthy workplace cultures.\u00a0 Yet many people (including leaders) have significant misconceptions about what creates \u201cworkplace culture\u201d and whether or not (or how) it can be changed.\u00a0 Frequent results of these misconceptions include: a) individuals within the organization giving up trying to improve the culture because they view the situation as hopeless; b) they want to do something to make a difference but don\u2019t know where to start, or c) their attempts to change the culture are so misguided that their efforts are totally wasted.\u00a0 (Some of the approaches are analogous to trying to fix an overheated car engine by changing a tire on the car.)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at these misconceptions and then address what individuals within an organization can<\/u> do to start to make a difference.<\/p>\n

Misconception #1: \u201cCulture\u201d in an organization is so big, gnarly and complex that it can\u2019t be changed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some individuals (especially in larger companies and organizations) look at the current life of an organization and feel overwhelmed with the complexity of the problems.\u00a0 They conclude the problem is too big to be addressed for the organization to be able to change.\u00a0 This is clearly not the case.\u00a0 Huge organizations of various types have<\/em> taken a self-assessment, seen that there are significant problems that need to be addressed and started on a path to successfully change.<\/p>\n

Misconception #2: The only way to change an organization\u2019s culture is to do a total \u2018restart\u2019 (or kill the organization). <\/strong><\/p>\n

People sometimes reach this conclusion because they observe companies and organizations changing significantly after they have had a significant event (for example, a bankruptcy) which requires them to totally reorganize and reformulate the organization.\u00a0 Other times, they see that a new company is birthed after a formerly large unhealthy one dies, and \u201cout of the ashes\u201d comes a new renovated variation of the former company.\u00a0 While this can be a way that a workplace culture can change, we obviously don\u2019t want to essentially amputate major parts of the company in order to make it healthy (although this is occasionally needed).<\/p>\n

Misconception #3: No one person can really impact their workplaces\u2019 culture very much.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This belief is held by some because of the incredible \u201cstaying power\u201d that an existing culture has.\u00a0 Many cultures can feel almost immovable.\u00a0 This conclusion is also reached because individuals believe that \u201cculture\u201d is an external entity that essentially happens<\/em> to an organization.\u00a0 The reality is: workplace culture is the result of the combination of thousands of individual interactions between hundreds or thoughts of individual employees.<\/p>\n

Misconception #4: A dysfunctional corporate culture is best revamped by changing the leadership at the top.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While leadership at the top may<\/u> need to be changed, doing this single action in no way guarantees any type of change will occur within the corporate culture.\u00a0 This is evidenced by the large number of companies who have recently had toxic cultures, changed their leadership, but the cultural patterns continue (usually because the leaders underneath them have the same values and approaches the senior leaders did).<\/p>\n

Misconception #5: Culture is easy to change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are also people who simplistically believe, \u201call we need to do is be more positive\u201d and a negative culture will magically transform.\u00a0 Culture is<\/em> complex and, in many cases, is difficult to change.\u00a0 But, when the people within an organization understand what comprises culture and then start a systematic approach to changing those factors which help shape culture, change can happen.<\/p>\n

How is culture changed, then?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As indicated above, the first step is to empower people to change their individual behavior.\u00a0 If each individual employee, supervisor, manager, or executive takes responsibility for themselves to make small, but consistent, changes in their behavior over time, an organization\u2019s culture can begin to \u201cmorph\u201d to a healthier state of being.<\/p>\n

Secondly, culture is also highly influenced by structure (communication patterns, decision making styles, expectations for daily functioning), as well as repeatedly proclaiming the mission of the organization along with the priorities and values by which that mission will be obtained.\u00a0 A company may have a mission to \u201cserve their clients\u201d and \u201cprovide a reasonable return on investors\u2019 investment\u201d but how<\/u> that is accomplished (and the values on which the actions are based) will significantly impact what the corporate culture becomes.<\/p>\n

Third, there are a number of other critical elements that leaders often forget\u2014the need for community, the power of visual symbols, how music, food, and celebrating organizational successes.\u00a0 Rituals (those actions which are done repeatedly without thinking) and traditions fill in the remaining parts of what an organization\u2019s culture looks like.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in trying to help refashion your organization\u2019s culture, start to reflect on how your<\/em> daily actions may influence the aspects of your workplace\u2019s culture you don\u2019t like and see what ways you can start behaving differently that could begin to make a difference.\u00a0 You can<\/u> influence the interactions around you, and ultimately, begin to affect change in your overall organizational culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Workplace culture is both a \u201chot\u201d and important topic in the world today.\u00a0 Companies, organizations, and government agencies are all struggling with the reality that they have seriously unhealthy workplace cultures.\u00a0 Yet many people (including leaders) have significant misconceptions about what creates \u201cworkplace culture\u201d and whether or not (or how) it can be changed.\u00a0 Frequent… Continue reading…<\/a>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[150,20,73,142,19,2143,34,2223],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n5 Misconceptions about Workplace Culture (And How You Can Make a Difference) - Appreciation at Work<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.appreciationatwork.com\/blog\/5-misconceptions-about-workplace-culture-and-how-you-can-make-a-difference\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"5 Misconceptions about Workplace Culture (And How You Can Make a Difference) - Appreciation at Work\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Workplace culture is both a \u201chot\u201d and important topic in the world today.\u00a0 Companies, organizations, and government agencies are all struggling with the reality that they have seriously unhealthy workplace cultures.\u00a0 Yet many people (including leaders) have significant misconceptions about what creates \u201cworkplace culture\u201d and whether or not (or how) it can be changed.\u00a0 Frequent...
