For the SLP 4 assignment, you will explore some aspects of an organization’s
culture, at least as you see it. (Select an organization you have worked with, if
possible.) Since the concept of organizational culture is open to many
interpretations and classifications, this assessment offers a slightly different
approach from your background reading on organizational culture.

Assignment
Think about the results from the Gallup Survey for a minute, and how it compares
to the Academy, Baseball Team, Fortress, and Club cultures described by
McNamara in the Background reading.
Then prepare a 2- to 3-page paper addressing:
In your opinion, do the Gallup results fit your general expectations or constitute
a surprise in some ways? Interpret the results of the Gallup survey in terms of
your own experience, either to confirm or to question the results. Compare the
Gallup results and your opinions with the McNamara categories.
The degree to which the Gallup results and the McNamara information tell you
similar or dissimilar things about your organization.
Does the Gallup survey and the McNamara categories help improve your
managerial understanding and/or skills? What can you infer from the results
about how your organization’s culture fits or doesn’t fit with you? What (if
anything) can you do to make your interaction with the culture more effective?
Provide your opinion on whether or not the above two sources in this SLP 4
help you understand the organization and how you cope with it. Do they
accurately depict what is needed to analyze a company’s culture?
