Interesting comments on the FC Blog around a comment by Jeff Bezos. What do you think? Do organizations over-engineer the "cultural fit" component of hiring?
Should it?
When we talk about encourging diversity in organizations because (1) our customers are diverse and (2) diversity gives rise to better ideas, shouldn't this notion of "cultural fit" also be challenged?
Or, does the Japanese saying "The nail that stands out, gets hammered in" hold true for all organizations?
Hi
ReplyDeleteWell, the concept of cultural diversity isnt being followed to its truest sense.Their idea of cultural fit is right but it shud be applied on working out the outputs but in the name of it shudn't overdo the process of hiring as was clear from Bezos comments.
