OCAI Discussion Questions
2)
What group(s) did your current work score highest in? What group(s) did your preferred score highest in?
The highest score that my current work score had received from me was in group B, or
otherwise notated as the adhocracy culture. Everyone just does what needs to get done and
goes once they are finished. There exists a lot of room for creativity here. On the other hand,
the highest score that my preferred work score had received was in group D, or otherwise
notated as the hierarchy culture. Now, I will admit that the type of work that I am doing now does not necessarily need too much structure, but overall, as general a rule, that is typically what I prefer.
3)
What does your preferred figure say about you and the type of culture you desire? As I had stated in the previous question, I most certainly prefer in general the hierarchy culture
to that of any other. As such, what this means is that I most certainly prefer structure and the
emphasis of the distinction in roles within the company. It is as well true that I tend to prefer
more order than chaos in society at large.
4)
To what degree are your two figures similar or different?
It appears the two figures are opposites of each other in terms of which quadrant
is the most emphasized one. Both clan and market were at twenty points for now and preferred.
For the differences, preference for hierarchy was at a 40, and adhocracy was at 20 for preferred.
For now, the two values were swapped. Hierarchy for now was at a 20, while adhocracy was at
a 40 for now.
5)
Based on your two figures, what can you extrapolate about your current job and how you feel about your job?
Although the graphs show a mirror opposite result, I do not mind my current work
situation, since my preference for hierarchy is more of a general preference, a rule if you will,
and a rule that can allow for exceptions. Since I am working right now as a violin instructor, I am
of course, given much freedom and flexibility to teach how I see fit, and that is what makes the
most sense in that profession.
