Discussion 2 – Week 1

Levels of Culture Within Your Community

As Schein (2009) noted, identifying and defining the culture of an organization can be challenging at best. To begin developing your cultural awareness, start by examining a culture with which you are already familiar. Here in our Discussion, you will examine the elements and dimensions in your own community and apply Schein’s (2009) levels of culture, which include artifacts, espoused values, and shared tacit assumptions.

To prepare for this Discussion, pay particular attention to the following Learning Resources:

Schein, E. H. (2009). The corporate culture survival guide. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.

• Chapter 2, Figure 2.1

Schein, E. (2014a). Culture fundamentals from Edgar Schein. Retrieved from

By Day 3

Post a cohesive response based on your analysis of the Learning Resources and your professional experience. Be sure to analyze the following:

• A description of the artifacts within your community.
• A description of the espoused values within your community.
• A description of shared tacit assumptions, or underlying assumptions within your community.
• An analysis of how knowledge of community artifacts, values, and assumptions enable leaders to build their leadership skills.

Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources, as well as other credible resources you have read; or what you have observed and experienced. Minimum two resources are required.
