Culture: what is company culture? Ask 5 people, and each will give you a different answer. It seems difficult to give a rational explanation, but it is equally easy to perceive.
For us, it is the way an organization does things, summarizes its vision, objectives, values and behaviors.
In short, it represents the whole of a company.
However, despite its importance, it is often the factor that is least taken into consideration in the work environment.
Culture arises from above, from the top, but it spreads everywhere and helps to keep everyone united in view of the goal.
Conflict is an essential part of common life. As long as people live and work in groups, conflict will be inevitable.
We are human beings, not machines, and everyone is different.
And as controversial as it may seem, studies show that teams that are all “kumbaya,” a term that comes from American folk tradition, do not perform at the same level as those that embrace conflict.
Constructive conflict produces collective genius.
And it's up to the leader to make it happen in the right way - starting with authenticity, trust and communication.
This phrase from Deion Sanders, two-time Superbowl winner, is essential in his words: “Cultures, cultures, cultures, cultures, cultures… What the heck does that mean? … I don't care about culture… I don't care if they like each other. I want to win. I've been on some teams where the quarterback didn't like the receiver, but they darn sure made harmony when the ball was snapped.”
