Can create divisions of ‘them and us’ (management and workers)




Fragmented

Mercenary

There is a process for everything, and woe betide you if you do not know it Self-preservation, covering yourself for everything you do and making sure that you do it to your potential, but can be in isolation to the rest of the business or internal partners




Communal

Can produce not only inaccurate information in the workplace but also complacency.
