MASTERING CORPORATE CULTURE--your path to career advancement
About this episode
In this episode from Series 3 of '50 Ways to Succeed at Work,' I discuss the importance of understanding and adapting to corporate culture as a means of career advancement.
Using the example of Boeing's decline due to a compromising shift in culture, I stress the vital role of culture in determining the overall success of an organisation and the individuals within.
I explain the term 'culture' as the shared values, beliefs, norms, behaviours, and practices at work or the collective personality of an organisation.
Understanding and fitting into this 'personality' can lead to essential personal and professional gains, fostering high employee engagement, job satisfaction, and commitment.
Through various company anecdotes, such as Twilio, L.L. Bean, and Walt Disney, I highlight how organisations embrace their unique cultures, promoting feedback, authenticity, flexibility, inclusion, and diversity.
I encourage you to absorb these valuable lessons, adapt to your organisation's core values, and actively shape a positive work environment to pave the way for professional growth and success.
