Types of Conflicts:-
Relationship Conflicts:
The conflict arising out of interpersonal tension among employees, which is concerned with the relationship
intrinsically, not the project at hand.
Interdependence Conflicts:
These types of conflict happen when a person relies on someone else's co-operation, output, or input for them
to get their job done. For example, a sales-person is always late inputting the monthly sales figures. This
causes the accountant to be late with her reports.
Leadership Conflicts:
Leaders have different ways of leading their teams. Team members who have to deal with various leaders
throughout a day, can become confused and irritated by these different ways of being led. For example, one
leader may be more open and inclusive, while another may be more directive.
Task Conflicts:
When there is differing preferences on how to get things done due to differences in age, educational
backgrounds, personal experiences, ethnic heritage, gender, and political preferences etc. is called task
conflicts.
In an organization, conflict is inevitable and so various means are to be discovered to resolve them or use
them in a way that can help the organization to increase its productivity.
CAPGEMINI-THE TCM GROUP train the HR team to resolve conflicts using mediation. It is a
conflict resolution process in which a neutral mediator assists the parties through constructive
discussion and negotiation of their issues in order to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.
Another strategy taken by Capgemini is clarifying the problem. It is important to take the time to
hear all of the concerns and to get a good understanding of what the problem is. Try to work
toward identifying each parties’ interests and not their position as it relates to the conflict.
Understanding another person’s interests (why it’s important to them) can help separate the
person from the problem.
The HR team has initiated the idea of Separate the people from the problem. It is important to separate
the person from the conflict and remember that – it is about the process, not the person. Focus
on the issue and avoid tying the issue to a particular person or persons.
For example, if there is conflict over limited resources, look at the process for how those
resources are allocated and not the person vying for those resources.
CHAPTER 3
Organisational culture
Definition and meaning of organisational
culture
Types of organisational culture followed
Culture impact on organisational behaviour in
the company
Organizational Culture: -
Organizational culture is defined as the underlying beliefs, assumptions, values and ways of interacting that
contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of an organization.
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS:-
Organizational culture includes an organization’s expectations, experiences, philosophy, as well as the values
that guide member behavior, and is expressed in member self-image, inner workings, interactions with the
outside world, and future expectations. Culture is based on shared attitudes, beliefs, customs, and written and
unwritten rules that have been developed over time and are considered valid.
Culture also includes the organization’s vision, values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions,
beliefs, and habits.
WORKPLACE CULTURE DIFFERENCES: -
Person Culture and Market Culture: - How members of an organization conduct business,
treat employees, customers, and the wider community are strong aspects of person culture and market
culture. Person culture is a culture in which horizontal structures are most applicable. Each individual
is seen as more valuable than the organization itself. This can be difficult to sustain, as the
organization may suffer due to competing people and priorities.
Adaptive Culture and Adhocracy Culture: - The extent to which freedom is allowed in
decision making, developing new ideas and personal expression are vital parts of adaptive cultures
and adhocracy cultures. Adaptive cultures value change and are action-oriented, increasing the
likelihood of survival through time. Adhocracy cultures are dynamic and entrepreneurial, with a focus
on risk-taking, innovation, and doing things first.
Power Culture, Role Culture, and Hierarchy Culture: - How power and information
flow through the organizational hierarchy and system are aspects of power cultures, role cultures, and
hierarchy cultures. Power cultures have one leader who makes rapid decisions and controls the
strategy. This type of culture requires a strong deference to the leader in charge. Role cultures are
where functional structures are created, where individuals know their jobs, report to their superiors,
and value efficiency and accuracy above all else. Hierarchy cultures are similar to role cultures, in
that they are highly structured. They focus on efficiency, stability, and doing things right.
Task Culture and Clan Culture: - How committed employees are towards collective
objectives are parts of task cultures and clan cultures. In a task culture, teams are formed with expert
members to solve particular problems. A matrix structure is common in this type of culture, due to
task importance and the number of small teams in play. Clan cultures are family-like, with a focus on
mentoring, nurturing, and doing things together.
Leadership is the ability of an individual or a group of individuals to influence and guide followers or other
members of an organization. Leadership involves making sound -- and sometimes difficult -- decisions,
creating and articulating a clear vision, establishing achievable goals and providing followers with the
knowledge and tools necessary to achieve those goals. Leaders are found and required in most aspects of
society, from business to politics to region to community-based organizations.
Leadership in business is the capacity of a company's management to set and achieve challenging goals,
take fast and decisive action when needed, outperform the competition, and inspire others to perform at the
highest level they can.
Influencing the behaviour of people: A leader impresses his subordinates with his leadership
ability. He brings them under his control in such a way that they put in their best efforts to achieve
the goals of the organization. Good leaders usually get good results through their followers.
Helps employees in fulfilling their needs: A leader establishes personal relationship with his
subordinates and tries to meet their requirements. People follow a leader because he provides them
security and the opportunities to earn wealth, gives them the right to work and tries to understand
their feelings. Employees willingly accept him because he takes care of their needs. Consequently,
they work with complete dedication and enthusiasm.
Motivating and guiding employees: This involves finding out the needs of the employees and
fulfilling them. It is important to define the employees’ role in the work process and provide them
with the tools needed. A good leader will explain the task and be available to assist them if they run
into a problem.
Setting a clear vision: This means Influencing employees to understand and accept the future state
of the organization. A good leader will influence his followers to perform their duties by explaining
the vision and the importance of their role in the outcome.
Capgemini North America Corporate Responsibility Director, Janet Pope, shed light on the importance of
creating the ITSMF Leadership Development Program, “I work with a non-profit that always says ‘what’s
good for women is good for everyone,’ and I believe it. We started the ITSMF leadership program 100%
due to the successes that we’ve had over the last 12 years with our Women’s Leadership Development
Program. It was important to me to leverage a best practice that was supporting one diverse population
with development, retention, and visibility to leadership to enable another underrepresented community.
The ITSMF Leadership Development Program is structured as an in-person, instructor-led course offered
over two days in conjunction with our Talent Acceleration Week, a week-long learning and development
workshop with various courses that draws over 500 participants. Facilitators were comprised of leaders
with over 20 years of business experience and helped guide participants throughout their learning journey,
with an emphasis on evaluating the present and preparing for the future- all through the unique cultural
perspective of each member of the program. The ITSMF Leadership Development Program provides a
new opportunity for Capgemini to invest in our African and African American employees with programs
geared towards them.
Emotional Intelligence: -
Next up Emotional intelligence, meaning the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions,
and to handle interpersonal relationships empathetically. This is a vital skill for leaders and managers in
any context, but particularly in this challenging, digital time:
1. Be aware that it is challenging to spot non-verbal signals
Pay attention to team members and be very explicit in communication and questions you ask.
Over the phone or via Skype/Zoom/Teams or in any other online communication channel it is
challenging to spot any non-verbal communication.
2. Make time for virtual coffee breaks with the team
Ensure there is a time and a place (online) for small talk and checking in with each other apart
from the task-oriented conversation
3. Maximize the online experience
By using video and online energizers by using instant- interactions tools such as Kahoot,
Klaxoon, Mentimeter, Mural, DEON (and many more).
4. Continue one-on-one meetings with team members
For coaching purposes, reflection and assessing the team’s needs
5. Encourage your team to pay attention to their well-being, both mentally and physically
And pay extra attention to any signals you receive around this. To keep the physical activity
going you might want to initiate lunchtime Skype meetings (Walk & Talk) or at-home
workouts. Or ask your team for (health guidelines-aligned) inspiration. Who can teach a yoga
class? Who can offer a virtual boxing masterclass?
Talent Empowerment: -
Now that you’ve got your team online, working effectively and paying attention to their wellbeing, it is
time to talk about talent empowerment. How do you keep a team productive, empower talent and
accelerate creativity and innovation in this new context?
1. Pay attention to your leadership style
It is important to keep in mind that it is motivating and empowering to have leaders that trust
and give a certain amount of space and autonomy to employees to work. It is better to use
feedback to drive development and positive changes in behaviour of remote workers instead
of micro-managing their tasks.
2. Use feedback to drive development in a positive way
As mentioned in the emotional intelligence part of this blog, it is important to continue having
one-on-one conversations with your team members to assess their needs and keep them
motivated. This is an opportunity for you as a leader to show you believe in the capabilities of
your team and set expectations. Use feedback techniques to emphasize the positive aspects of
what you have seen and provide space to share development needs from both sides.
3. Delegate responsibilities and trust your team
If you really want to empower the talent in your team, provide them with a challenging goal
or tasks responsibilities and a framework which enables them to be successful. Trust them to
be successful in an assignment. This increases team confidence.
4. Take extra care to recognize employees that thrive in this new
context
This new context and way of working is also an opportunity to spot who is taking on the
challenge and is taking a step forward. Don’t forget to acknowledge your teams’ successes
and compliment or celebrate positive behaviors you see happening.
5. Reframe work in this new context – challenge assumptions.
It is an opportunity to create new convictions! Experiment with new ways of working, new
roles and new task distribution and be amazed with the results.
Virtual Learning: -
Part of securing this digital way of working and continue facilitating for the development of your team is
to keep (virtual) learning and development running smoothly. There are several ways in which this can be
done.
To
conclude we can see that Capgemini adopt best organization culture in their company. They adopt several
leadership techniques in the pandemic time and they also digitalized their organization culture. Capgemini
also focus to each and every employee in their organization and help their to develop their personal interest.
It is important to separate the person from the conflict. Capgemini has been in constant communication with
employees to keep informed of new development that might help them in their carrier.
