Many companies write corporate culture on the wall, Cisco also has a culture card, but I think the company's culture is by no means a pleasant word, it is manifested in our behavior, rooted in our thinking. For example, that a person without culture, which is made from his behavior to judge, the same reason, a corporate culture is its behavior, that is, every employee to do business behavior. If the employees do not know what the boss wanted, how could the formation of a corporate culture? In this way, to bring out another problem, communication. If a business has neither the values and the principles of doing things, there is no way to communicate, not to mention management, there is no management. In other words, an enterprise has no culture, the company has a request, the employee's behavior is reflected, plus the incentive mechanism. It is important to consider whether or not to change an employee. We evaluate the staff every six months, and the Versatility is important, how well is an employee's ability to do it, and whether it can only be sold or otherwise? Adaptability is not strong, the total value of employees will not be high. No communication, there is no management, the three is the relationship between the Trinity.
