Before taking this course I have never thought about what company I would like to work for and how the culture in one company can be totally different from the culture in another. The course started and this project in particular started me thinking what I want from the company I would like to work for and what I am willing and able to give.
At this point in my life I don’t think the business of the company is very important and maybe my perspective will change with time but at the moment it is not important if I work for a company that is engaged with construction, trade, accounting or something else. It is important that in this company I can put in good use my knowledge and continue learning and developing and that the environment inspires me to do that. If I am practical I would say that the business of my dream company should be accounting or auditing because I have more practical knowledge in this spheres. My ideal company is stable and constantly striving for success but not at the expanse of the community’s welfare.
The employees are the heart of every company in my opinion and my dream company must be a place where they are perceived as the greatest asset by the owners. It is also a place where a healthy work environment dominates and where employees are encouraged to continue to self-improve. The owners of my dream company can expect loyalty from their employees and continues efforts to exceed their expectations.
In my dream company management will consider needs and interests of all connected in some way with the organization, not only those who have directly financial relations with the company’s profit. Managers will be good role models for their subordinates and good leaders. In my dream company managers actively ...

...s with proper etiquette and communication. This can lead to very tense working atmosphere in the company and lower productivity. However, in my dream company these relations will be supportive and oriented to communal help in order to overcome the differences people at different stages of their lives might have. I want to work in a company in which management takes actions orientated at answering the expectations of each group and improving comprehension between the different generations and the conjoint aid in solving problems cussed by the distinctions in the generations.
To sum it up, my dream company is quite idealistic. It is a socially responsible organization with corporate culture based on mutual understanding and support. The managers of this company appreciate their employees and encourage their further growth in both their professional and private goals.

    Management writes the rules and sets the goals for the organization. Management is often critical of failures and expects only success" (Kumle & Kelly, 2006, p. 11). Management handles the day-to-day complexities of organizations. Budgets, planning, meeting with investors, organizing, and maintaining company traditions all fall under management responsibility. As an organization grows managers tend to lose touch with employees. Managers think in terms of profit, goals, and company growth. Management operates on a need-to-know basis and can easily incite fear in their subordinate employees. Rumors of downsizing or a change in an organizations direction can often be eliminated by managers being more open with employees. Management has a tendency to protect itself at the expense of others. According to Kumle and Kelly (2006), " many managers are overly concerned with fitting in and not rocking the boat, those who emerge as leaders are more concerned with making important decisions that may break with tradition but are humane, moral and right" (p. 11). Good managers are also good leaders and tend to hire good leaders to represent them.

    What makes a company great? This is one of those pithy questions--like "What is great art?" or "What is great leadership?" that defy a simple response. Are companies deemed great because they have made buckets of money, or because they have made their employees happy? Are companies great when they make an impact on Wall Street or when they make an impact on the world? As a general rule all-visionary companies jealously preserve strong, and sometimes fanatical, corporate cultures even as companies adapt to rapidly changing times. Visionary companies heavily promote executives from within, constantly set lofty goals, and surprisingly, CEO’s are rarely charismatic. Moreover, visionary companies drive to make an impact on society, not just to make profits. This research project will serve two objectives: first to define what constitutes a visionary company, and then to show a comparison between a visionary company and a non-visionary company.

  • Are Generational Differences a Reason to Judge Similarities in the Workplace?

    1086 Words  | 3 Pages

    Edward S. Lyba, Ed.D. proclaimed, "Diversity in the workplace means creating an environment where people from dissimilar backgrounds can utilize their talents and work productively together,” (NEPA Diversity Guide, 2007). Organizations have been striving to understand and create an abundant amount of diversity amongst their employees. It has been instilled in the minds of today’s employees that everyone is different and unique and companies want originality. Since companies have been putting a strong focus on diversity, it has encouraged employees to develop excuses as to why they are different. Recently, organizations and employees the same, have turned to the excuse of a generation gap as justification to resist this change. Should leaders treat employees of different generations in the same job differently only because they were born in different times? As Edward S. Lyba said, diversity means bringing together employees of different backgrounds; different backgrounds being the key word. For years, leaders have tried to tell employees that each and every person is drastically different; no two people are the same. Are people really that different, or are these notions of difference derived from the varied backgrounds from which they come? The answer is simple. People are much more similar than they are different. First, people are not different; they just resist change, making excuses to challenge it. Second, organizations have been promoting diversity, employees need to as well. Lastly, people of all cultures and nationalities possess very similar sets of core values. This paper will discuss why different generations, baby boomers, generation x, and generation y, do not have significant differences that would cre...

    As a matter of fact, the manner in which they handle their children at home, managing their expectations should be the actual case in the work places. The generation Y employee is a constrained bomb of ideas, innovations, and expectations which only then transforms to expectations. The point is, these young employees have abilities that lack capacities. So now they look unto the generation X, the management to feed these capacities, as much as they may do this in a shrewd manner definitive of their expectations (Vaiman & Vance, 2008) Ideally, the generation X should be ready to embrace change in whose case the models of change should be very instrumental to help them manage the generation Y and their ideas and suggestions of change. The synthesis of the two conflicts now becomes the fusion of cultures to end up with a stable understanding of procedures for the young employees and a modern inception and injection of modern ideas into the long held organization cultures,
