À propos de ce contenu audio
It's common to hear people describe their work organizations as a "family." And that description is often made as a proud statement, as if to imply that an organization should operate or feel like a family. But that's problematic, as we discuss in this episode. Specifically, we explore:
- Why our use of metaphors for organization matters
- How the way in which we talk about things can create or reinforce cultural norms
- Why "family" is a problematic way to think about your work organization
- Implications for people, leaders, and organizations
