In our previous discussion, we explored how to transform the company culture through organization archetypes. But how do you practically identify these hidden patterns within your company?
The answer lies in a comprehensive assessment of your workforce and the key cultural pillars that shape your company's unique dynamics.
Organization Archetypes Example
For instance, imagine a company where the dominant archetype is the Builder, lacking the influence of a Teacher or Devotee. Employees here likely thrive on results and efficiency and are comfortable with rapid change.
While this brings strengths such as business acumen, decisiveness, and adaptability, potential challenges could include over-emphasizing financial results at the expense of company values, employee well-being, or long-term sustainability.
