I was not too surprised by the inclusion of any of Ekvall’s ten dimensions, other than maybe conflict and
its negative correlation. I also see why conflict would be included as it influences a creative climate. If I
were to add any dimensions, I would maybe choose feedback, but that may fall under idea support.
There’s also rewards/recognition that could potentially be included as well. The hardest dimension to
evaluate was trust and openness. Before stepping in and making a strategic plan, the company would
have been a 0 to a 1, but I decided to make it a 2 as we are changing our processes, including the way we
communicate. I put conflict at a 1, making it the lowest score. The highest scores would have to be
challenge, dynamism and liveliness, freedom, risk taking, idea time, and idea support.
