A corporate idol is an overemphasis and absolutizing of an admirable cultural trait. Each culture's emphases will probably have some beneficial influences on work as well as harmfully distort it. This week, we're going to discuss three types of corporate idols and the potential problems they have with work. Idols of Traditional Cultures: make idols out of social stability and the good of the whole over the rights of the individual. This has a major impact on business practices. The book uses the example of Japan, which is largely still a traditional culture. In Japan, it isn't acceptable for workers to move from company to company to find a better salary. It also isn't acceptable for companies to lay off workers to sustain profits. There can be some benefits to this; however, it can also cause problems. Idols of Modern Cultures: modern society shifted to being more focused on the individual (idolizing yourself). In this society, productivity and efficiency are higher than in traditional societies; however, it came at a cost. In many situations business practices have declined -- more dangerous situations, people treated as "machines", etc. Idols of Postmodern cultures: "means-without-an-end" idolatry where technology, uncertainty, and the market have become the idols. In a postmodern society, people can't agree about "ends" or goals for the human race, so they resort to "means" or techniques. This has had a big impact on the fields of media, entertainment, and marketing. The major problem with postmodern cultures is deception, fraud, and self-interest actions. As societies adopt postmodernism, Christians might have a hard time and find themselves swimming against the very strong currents of the corporate idols of society. This is because Christians have a deeper understanding of human well-being and are focused on more than oneself. #EveryGoodEndeavor #faithdriven #faithbased #work #problems #problemswithwork #brokenworld #idols #idolatry #corporateidol #workculture

Selected interviews with young creative professionals in Hangzhou, China, on overwork and how they feel about themselves and Chinese society today, by Berlin-based Chinese photographer 梦雨 Zhou Mengyu. The feedback tallies with our projects and interviews in China which show that the often-mentioned '躺平 tang ping - lying flat' movement is more a conceptual rather than behavioral currency, and transient at that. People affected by a depressed economy and gloomy future outlook acknowledge that 'tang ping' is not a long-term constructive aspiration, due to social, professional and individual responsibilities which they do actually take seriously. They do remain eager to contribute to society. The caveat is, they question the rules of the game and, in the long run, they seek to modify certain values held by society at large. This quote from one of the interviewees helps sum up how many young Chinese adults feel about society and the overall system: "Society is like an incessantly running cold and ruthless machine. People seem like programmed parts. But for society to become better, to become more vibrant, it needs everyone to unleash their talents. Using one's innate abilities, interacting with others, the most significant experiences are in the spiritual realm rather than in material things. I long for a society that is authentic and warm. I'm optimistic about the future though. We'll have challenges but it will get better, even if things aren't optimistic at the moment." They want to make changes to the script. That is to those parts they are responsible for delivering - which does not necessarily mean they want to change the whole play. #china #insights #youngpeople #tangping #chinamarketing

The Paradox of Individualism: Navigating Danish Culture When individuals come to work in Denmark, they may encounter a cultural paradox. As newcomers, they may feel the need to prove themselves, while the prevailing culture may perceive such attempts as standing out too much. I recently experienced this firsthand, when I found a solution to an anomaly that resulted in significant savings of time and money. However, since this was done individually, it went unnoticed – I was ignored, nor recognized on the company's internal social media platform, which is usually the practice. Even after so many years of working with Danes, this left me feeling surprised and disheartened. Danish culture is characterized by egalitarianism, where individualism serves the purpose of cooperation and common goals. This cultural aspect is often referred to as the Law of Jante, which originated from a satirical novel published in 1933 and includes famous commandments, among others, "Don't think you are smarter than we are." While these commandments should not be taken literally, they provide a starting point to understand how Danes interpret and apply the Law of Jante. In light of my experience, I believe it is important to approach tasks as team efforts, involving more colleagues and allowing them to share the challenges. By doing so, you will be able to prove yourself as a contributor and cooperator. Expecting individual praise might not be a realistic expectation in Denmark, nor one that matters. #culturaladaptability, #workculture, #teamwork, #jantelaw, #danishculture

Former KPMG Partner | Top 50 Women Leaders of Vancouver 2023 & 2024 | Certified Coach | I help leaders succeed in their careers, find fulfillment, and rediscover joy
The pressure that Asian culture places on us to conform, avoid causing trouble, and remain silent is very real! Left unchecked, this cultural influence not only hinders our career advancement but also prevents us from living a joyful life as our authentic selves! When Calvin Yan reached out to me on LinkedIn, I had no idea that our quick coffee chat would evolve into a 2-hour-long deep conversation about the impact of Asian culture in our paths. We discussed the highs and lows we experienced in search of our own voices. We also discussed our shared sense of responsibility to raise awareness about cultural influence within our community. By doing so, we hope others will feel less alone as they search for their own voices. As the eldest children in our respective immigrant families, our upbringings mirrored each other. Meeting someone for the first time and feeling an immediate, profound connection is truly remarkable! Talking to Calvin, I felt HEARD and SEEN without needing to justify my inner experiences. I was UNDERSTOOD instantly without having to explain why I used to be so reserved at work. He simply gets it! Today, Calvin is the Regional Director, Finance and Real Property for the Western and Territories Region at Employment and Social Development Canada. He is also the branch executive coach in his workplace. He shares insights on various topics in his weekly newsletter. This week, he focuses on the topic of unlearning the Asian teachings of silence. https://lnkd.in/dTHazHDQ Calvin, thank you for using your voice to empower others and help them feel less alone. I hear you, my friend. 😊 p.s. Thanks to LinkedIn for providing this free platform which gives us the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and to bring awareness to important topics! ♻ Share with others you think may benefit from this. 💛 I’m on a mission to help leaders succeed, find fulfillment, and rediscover joy. Hope you find this helpful. Feel free to DM me if I can support you in your personal growth journey. #personalgrowth #emotionalintelligence #coaching #success #fulfillment #joy

Excited! This interview was arranged by the masterful Koh Matsuki! I was able to share insights gained from HUNDREDS of conversations with Japanese women, board directors, investors, and other executives. WATCH HERE: https://lnkd.in/gpKzisUK I invited JBDN member Mayumi Ando, who brings vast experience as a former portfolio manager at a Japanese company, a gender studies expert, and a #boarddirector. As a whole, Japan is moving forward rapidly. While it may seem like small steps are being taken, together, there are hundreds of small steps being taken. Mentioned: ITOCHU Corporation 朝勤務、ご利敵な仕事 (example of flexible work policies - it is a known story that Itochu's focus on productivity and flexible work policies resulted in an increase in the birthrate of children of Itochu women) Makiko Eda (example of an executive Japanese women joining a Japanese company to support positive change) Mika Nishimura (example of Japanese woman residing overseas serving on a Japanese board) Brenda Harvey (example of a foreign woman residing overseas serving on a Japanese board) Jin Montesano (example of non-Japanese transformational leader in all aspects including HR and board composition).
