I am #Workingoutloud on performance aspects Culture Today, specifically with an initial question about what “performance” really means in times of rapid change. There is a “ high performance ” in an existing paradigm (sell more things on an existing market), and there is a high performance ” in terms of a market disturbance and innovating a new product, a new service, or even entirely the market. These are completely different things and can be kept in entirely different structures and capacities. In a space, an intimate understanding of an existing system and context can differentiate us, in the other, ignorance can be an asset.
It is perhaps not just that these two things are different, but rather that they are seated in tension: a team or an organization which is “very efficient” in an inherited state can actively oppose or resist the adaptation which allows it to change, and as well as an excitable culture of high performance in the adaptation can lack rigor, replicability and processes to transport something safe.
The first question, if we consider high performance, is to wonder what is the context of this performance.
Inside, we can consider how it relates to culture, again in two definitions: one is at the level of individual leadership, and the other is at the level of the organizational imperative. Again, the two can be different. At the organization's macro level, culture is often held in assets, language and belief, which is necessarily wide, while the individual level, in terms of behavior, it is fully contextualized in ours Social contexts and reality. In the new Culture Work I explore this in more detail: what this gradient of scale looks like, how large is it and how to connect the two things: a large imperative, with an individual behavior. The short answer to this is through interconnection stories, so that our strength is not in a single view, behavior and language, but rather in many various, which are interconnected at a certain level. This is more similar to a vision of culture as a socially co-created and diversified characteristic.
