Describe how the relationship between 'norms' and 'values' is similar to the relationship between 'mission' and 'vision'.

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Norms are like the mission. They are lived day-to-day and lead to something greater.

The norms represent the day-to-day actions of people, the mission represents the day-to-day goals. These are very important and are unique to each organisation

Values are like the vision. They are aspirational and achievable if the norms/mission are well developed.

The values represent the aspirations of the organisations culture. The vision represents the aspirational goals. These are less unique from one organisation to another.

Explain why autocratic leadership might create a different corporate culture than a laissez faire leadership style.

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Each leadership style provides the subordinate with differing levels of instruction, control and autonomy. Autocratic leadership limits creativity and autonomy, whereas Laissez Faire leadership encourages these things.

Corporate culture is the norms of the organisation for all employees. So the leader will influence these norms of how work is done and how communication happens through their leadership style.

The video mentions the achieving the culture of the firm, the setting of ‘cultural objectives’ as a way to measure the effectiveness of culture. Describe a possible challenge of setting cultural objectives.

Evaluate responses using AI:
