Working Ethics and Culture

Talking about working culture and working ethics. How do you define or how to you view the indifferent issue of working in the corporate environment? Some like it safe and secure, some like it challenging and be paid more, some like the freedom the organization provides, some like the retirement planning the company provide when their reach their peak, some like the environment of working, some just don't really think about it as long as their monthly salary is paid on time, some like it fast and furious, some treat it as a part of their life, some just do it becoz they like it so much, so just do it to make end meets and some treat it like a pressure with no end. Lots and lots of endless reasons and much more to say if there is.

Working in a international corporate environment will definitely be different with working with a smaller scale version of a local company. Working for government agencies and working for private companies is totally different in culture. The work ethics and the working attitude is different due to the culture that exist long time. If there are any changes to be done, a very strong, charismatic leader must be in place for any real changes to be made.

But certain aspect of working attitude and human character is the same whatever it goes, wherever you might be working either with an organization or on your own. Characters such as hardworking, good working attitude, team builder and team player, tolerance, pro-active, independent, willing to go the extra mile and looking at the bigger picture instead of all the smaller details that is not that important yet. I learn this through the hard way and by listening to all the advise and by understanding the view from the top, the view of the top management guys.

So perhaps its time to evaluate and to ask yourself this simple question, " Am i looking far enough and big enough?" Enough said.
