Nowadays, in giant corporates and big conglomerates;I am seeing a program called " culture transformation program". I also came to know this, through many of my friends as this or similar programe also conducted for middle management in their company also.
Such Facilitator for such programs will mostly be foreigner or overseas agency, they prepared a power point slide with modul 1, 2, 3...X. numbers, by incorporating few sterio type words like "leadership", "behaviour", "vision", "transformation" or "empowerment".
One of my colleague Mr.Murgan shared his experience, and always used to explain me the importance of such programs. He told me that, by attending such program he always feels empowered and mostly tells the stories of "company's interest to empower him".
Murgan always challenge my fundamental understanding of "empowerment as -privilege to break the procedure or protocol"
Anyway the point here is not the understanding of Murgan. The point is, how come it is possible to change the culture with the crash course of 3 or 4 modules prepared by non Indian or a person who literally don't know anything about my culture and even not of my race. And this too is for middle management or leaders. For me, such programme is like "Grafting of an Apple tree stem on the old banyan tree and expect to get Apple fruits in few weeks."
Basically a culture is the beliefs of community (the mass), so if one want to change it, should address the people on the root or ground(not few leaders). And such programs are mostly conducted in "already grown" or "fast growing" only. Reasons of their growth might be the existing culture of the organisation.
Then, why these organisations doing the fundamentally wrong thing at a cost of "pistachio" for no reason...?
And the answer is corporates want to impart "a fake sense of empowerment in their middle management."
