《管理英语4》期末复习题2解析(10)

Positive work cultures are built over time and need constant attention. Such cultures are dependent on leadership vision and values.
An effective leader sets the tone for the team, encourages a positive workplace culture and is able to bring about cultural change.
Workplace culture is made up of the shared attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, values and expectations that influence the way people work in the workplace. It is “the way we do things around here”.
Some cultural aspects are understood by all and are obvious such as turning up for wok on time, while others may be "unwritten rules" that are not so obvious for example how personal issues are resolved with work colleagues.
Many factors that influence whether a workplace has a positive outlook are within the control of people who work in a workplace. There are also factors out of their control, such as slumps in global prices or a change in demand and supply. The company can, however, control how they respond to these factors.
