Cheat sheet: Organizational Cultures — Pros, Cons, Examples

A company can establish a healthy, employee-centric culture that will help to create a close relationship with its team members - but not all cultures have this goal. Learn the four main types of organizational culture with this handy cheat sheet.

#1 Teams, not hierarchy. The old top-down org charts must go; leaders must create a model of interconnected, agile, and empowered teams

“People are most engaged when they feel a sense of ownership in their work, they are working in the right jobs, and they are clear on the team’s goals.”

#2 Work, not jobs. Rapidly and relentlessly changing business requirements demand fitting work to employees' skills and experience, rather than adhering to historic job roles and paths

“Reward the work, not job titles.”

#3 Coach, not boss. Managers today should empower not order, and integrate reskilling and career development into work

“Make managers coaches, not bosses.”

#4 Culture, not rules. The credo of every leader should center on respect, flexibility, and fairness rather than inflexible processes and hard-and-fast rules

“Foster a worker-centric culture and offer progressive approaches to compensation.”

#5 Growth, not promotion. Make employee growth part of every activity at work, offer stretch assignments, and reward the development of new skills

“Invest in continuous learning, and remove layers of management.”

#6 Purpose, not profits. Companies built for and revolving around unique and core purposes have a greater likelihood of long-term success

Practice conscious capitalism — “Purpose is the real fuel of a company. It gives people the energy, enthusiasm and creativity to add value in many ways.”

#7 Employee experience, not output. Employees must come first; everything else follows in importance

“Empower and unleash your people to create mutual value.”
