Hi! For my book, I would like to gather a set of beliefs that govern how people operate in organizations. I’m especially looking for beliefs that really drive people’s behavior, decision-making, etc. Contradictions and alternate viewpoints welcome and encouraged. For example:
- Never help out a colleague too much, because they’re just competition for the top spot.
- Always help your colleagues, because when we work together, we accomplish more than when we work alone.
- Our competitors will never be able to produce a product as good as ours.
- Management is stupid and doesn’t know what they’re doing.
I will be using these in my book. By submitting them here, you give me permission to do so. I would like to list everyone who contributes in the acknowledgements section. If you wish to be acknowledged, just sign your comment with your desired name (first name, full name, etc.).
Thanks!
