There are four types of corporate cultures: controlling, performance, relationship and responsiveness. I considered the definition of each type of culture and tried to predict the results of my company culture preference. Seeing value in every type of culture, I expected you to lean toward performance and responsiveness over relationship and control. A performance culture that is effective and efficient and that values both individual and organizational performance (Blackboard via CSU-Global website, n.d.) is congruent with my personal management philosophy. Likewise, I predicted compatibility with a culture of responsiveness as it seeks to remain competitive and seeks new opportunities (Blackboard through CSU-Global website, n.d.). This also aligns with my approach to running a successful business. While relationships are important and can be the key to an organization's success, I think that if a company focuses primarily on growth and well-being, it risks losing sight of what will enable it to achieve success. I think I appreciate order and control within the company culture; however, this culture ranked lower on my list considering how it is presented in this context. The role of senior leaders should certainly be recognized, but I don't think I would have difficulty in an organization where this is the main focus of its culture. Ultimately, each of these corporate cultures is important to varying degrees. I think finding the right balance between them is critical to building an organization that can attract and retain the employees and customers you want. The evaluation produced some interesting results: control 0/6, performance 4/6, relationship 5/6 and responsiveness. 3/6 (McGraw-Hill ...... middle of paper ...... e. This makes our office in particular a great place to work and definitely allows some aspects of control and performance to be more manageable .As the leader of my team, I strive to foster a positive relational culture to continue to build on the environment created by executive leadership. Fortunately, this is not always easy considering the significant amount of time I have spent in a controlling culture I now understand the situation difference and the consequences of not doing what I know is best.
