Organizational Culture and Team Building
A great organizational culture produces engaged employees who are invested in their jobs and committed to their employers. They are significantly more productive, and they drive higher customer satisfaction ratings. Leaders who understand this can foster a culture of self-discipline, empowerment, and a motivation for employees to proactively take leadership roles to solve problems and move toward common goals. Without proper training in organizational culture, managers are unable to identify the underlying causes of both good and bad cultures and more importantly, they are unable to develop solutions. New managers just entering the workforce may be fortunate to work for an organization with a great organizational culture; however, they may not recognize the fundamental elements that make a good culture and thus may not learn how to preserve that culture or replicate it elsewhere. Worse, a manager may enter an organization with a dysfunctional or toxic culture and have no knowledge or skills in the methods to improve that culture.
