Team Spirit and Corporate Culture
© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008
Isn’t it surprising how many in management believe that the team spirit within departments makes up for missing corporate culture?
As a matter of fact a missing corporate culture can be quite damaging to any (big or small) business. While customers will recognize and appreciate the team’s spirit within a given department, having to deal with a different culture when talking to someone else is cumbersome at best. Even worst is how often the team spirit is based on the assumption the team one belongs to is better than other teams.
At times other teams are even seen as phlegmatic and unknowledgeable.
