In nine days’ time I will be sacked as the Corporate Anthropologist for Cultures AT Work, as I am every year on the 17th of December.

Why am I being sacked again? Poor performance? Illegal activity? Flirting with my boss, who is also my wife?

None of the above. I am sacked every year to ensure that I have the chance to refresh, rest or rejig my role for next year, in a manner that demands me to lift my game and meet the current needs of our clients in a changed context of business in 2015.

If you were to be sacked and asked to redesign your role to better meet the needs of your business and its clients, what would you change?

·         Your perspective?

·         Your attitude?

·         Your questions?

·         Your workflow?

·         Your priorities?

Every culture that is able to adapt to the changing circumstances it finds itself in, needs people who are willing and able to upgrade their performance.

Cultural Question To Consider.
What does your 2015 upgrade look like?

Finally on behalf of Cultures AT Work I wish to thank you all for connecting with us this year. We wish you all happy holidays and look forward to sharing the cultural aspirations you have for your organisation in 2015.
