ABSTRACT
Organizational culture is defined as the predominant beliefs, values, attitudes, behaviors, and practices that people in an organization share; these are formed as a learned response when the people share common experiences in addressing external and internal problems. Helping people identify their strengths and leveraging those strengths will not only create a positive team environment but also contribute directly to the strength of your endeavor and the outcomes it can produce. In a typical founding team structure, founders are assigned roles according to their strengths, weaknesses, experiences, and preferences. At the early stages of a new endeavor, it is only natural for the founding team to make decisions as they go. The day-to-day running of an organization needs to be documented and institutionalized, and manuals are a good tool for capturing those practices. As different processes emerge and solidify in your work, it is helpful to undertake process mapping for each one.
