| Culture - What is it? |
|
With all the demands for change from external forces on our healthcare industry how do we make substantial changes and sustain those changes over time?
Culture is an important part of making those needed changes.
What is the definition of culture? - shared assumptions, values or beliefs held by individuals. Strong culture is essential for success because the shared assumptions, values and beliefs of an organization influence the behavior of its individual members. The concept of organizational culture might best be described as the collective personality of an organization. It is a complex tapestry woven from the assumptions, attitudes, values, beliefs, collective memories and customs of an organization. It is upon these learned, shared assumptions that individuals base the daily behaviors that become habitual, patterned and integrated. Reinforced over time, the collective unconscious manifests itself as "the way we do things around here," and organizational identity is both created and reinforced (Kimball, 2005).
What is your unit's culture? Is it one of "this is the way we do things around here" or is it one that is adaptable to needed change? Is it helping you in your efforts or hindering?
