Is your organization filled with Teflon or Velcro?
What do I mean with
that question?
Teflon organizations don't let negatives get them down.
They don't allow the comments of others to stick, but instead get the
meaning across and then roll off. These are cultures where those from
the outside can't understand how plainly and sometimes bluntly people
can speak the truth. These cultures can also be ones that move faster
with less friction. The downside is that positive comments can also roll
off too fast and should stick a little longer.
Velcro cultures are
just the opposite. Everything sticks and nothing is easy to move. One
small comment can be debated and fretted over forever and then
everything gets jammed up. Funny thing about a Velcro culture is that
the negatives still stick way more than the positives. The positives,
are almost like the Teflon culture in that they get drowned out and
ignored quickly, because there are so many negatives sticking around.
Which is your culture?
Which are you supporting inside of the culture?
