REPLY TO TYRETTA:
Every organization has it's own personality. Starting with an ideas, a vision, that eventually manifest into a culture of it's own. "Organizational culture consists of a set of shared meanings and values held by a set of members in an organization that distinguish it from others” (Baack,2017,2.1). The culture of the company is a mere reflection of the founder(s) beliefs, goals, sole objective for being in business. Which eventually becomes the norm for how business gets done. Subcultures are groups that are formed due to a common problem or issue amongst certain members. Creating a group that has similar views and beliefs, aside from the organizations dominant culture. It's very important to understand culture due to the fact that every culture is different, and has their own norms. Being able to not only recognize and accept these differences, but embracing and learning how to adapt accordingly to be able to work in any business environment. On my spare time, working as an Independent representative for a network marketing company, who culture embodies Fun Freedom and Fulfilment. Events and seminars resembling a musical concert, the people genuinely happy, chasing the same dream of becoming financially free, having such a positive attitude and outlook. As a representative that has the opportunity build my own team through recruiting, I'm more aware than before of diversity. I encounter people of all origins, and beliefs, and as a independent representative it's my duty to be able to connect with each individual. First recognizing our differences, being open minded and accepting. Having a willingness to reach an understanding, to be able to communicate most effective. When embracing diversity, it's important that we're sensitive to people differences and that we learn through training how to understand as well as working together effectively for the greater good of the organization.
