Organizational Paradigms / Worldviews: 9/11
November 29, 2024 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 14 ⚊ BLOGCorporate cultures are based on paradigms and worldviews – seeing things“my way”. They often lead to tunnel vision, which leads to being a poor problem solver and decision maker – a poor leader. Paradigms are the foundation of science, scientific theory and discovery. They are a general model – pattern – template, made up of a set of assumptions, concepts, and theories that provide a lens through which we view and interpret the world. We take action based on our paradigms. If I’m a sailor and the navigational paradigm is the world is flat, I fear sailing off the edge of the world. If I’m a sailor and the navigational paradigm is the earth is round, I sail East to get to the West, because I’m sailing around a globe.
