🎈 Let's dive into the thrilling world of organizational culture! Yep, just like Hogwarts has its different houses, businesses have different cultures. But instead of a sorting hat, it's shaped by managers and founders.

• Power Culture - The Zeus of Organizations 🌩️

  • Key Trait: A few people hold all the power. Just like Zeus on Mount Olympus!
  • Handy's Symbol: 🕷️ (A spider's web - the spider being the one with the power).
  • Example: Remember the collapse of Enron and Barings Bank? Both had too much power in too few hands.
  • Fun Fact: If you're not "spider-friendly", you probably won't last long in this culture.

• Role Culture - Apollo's Structured Symphony 🎵

  • Key Trait: Employees have specific roles in a strict organizational structure. Apollo vibes!
  • Handy's Symbol: 🏛️ (Think old and stable like a temple).
  • Example: Ever been to a post office or government building? That’s role culture right there.
  • Heads-up: People in this culture don’t like risks. They like their rulebooks!

• Task Culture - Athena’s Project Warriors 🦉

  • Key Trait: Teams form for specific tasks. Power shifts based on skills. Athena would approve!
  • Handy's Symbol: 🕸️ (Like a net with its different strands).
  • Example: Consultancy firms or school drama productions. You assemble, tackle a project, and then move on.
  • Cool Factor: It's dynamic! But decisions can make or break team spirit.

• Person Culture - Dionysus' Free Spirits 🍷

  • Key Trait: Employees see themselves above the organization. Think of independent artists or free spirits.
  • Handy's Symbol: ✨ (A constellation of stars, each unique).
  • Example: Some architecture firms or university departments.
  • Caution: Hard to manage, as everyone wants to dance to their own tune.
