Write a 3-5 page paper on Organizational Culture Profile.
The culture of your organization is reflected in the shared values and beliefs that guide the thinking and behavior of members. While the prevailing culture can be somewhat subtle and abstract, it nevertheless sets patterns for the activities of the organization and the personal styles exhibited by members. These styles can range from Affiliative and Achievement oriented in organizations with Constructive cultures to Competitive and Dependent in those with Defensive cultures.

The results reflect your beliefs regarding how members should interact with one another in carrying out their work and meeting the expectations of their supervisors. The profile below graphically portrays your impressions of your organization's culture in terms of norms and expectations for 12 distinct, but inter-related, behavioral styles.
