Answer any 5 of the following questions: Each question carries 10 marks.

1. Are your organization’s values clearly defined? If yes, what are they? How would you describe your organization’s corporate culture? Can you identify anyone within the organization who exemplifies the corporate culture and values?

Answer: Corporate leaders love to talk about values. They put them on web sites, frame them, place them prominently in boardrooms and proudly espouse them in media interviews. The notion of values has become so pervasive that it’s hard to find any CEO who doesn’t tout their importance.

3. i) How does your organization measure performance?

Answer: Measuring performance is a vital part of monitoring an organization’s progress. It comprises measuring the actual performance outcomes or results of an organization against its intended goals. This requires a top-down approach to setting performance criteria rather than a bottom-up approach that I often see occurring in many organizations.



ii) What triple bottom line reporting does your organization conduct?

This differs from traditional reporting frameworks as it includes ecological (or environmental) and social measures that can be difficult to assign appropriate means of measurement. The TBL dimensions are also commonly called the three Ps: people, planet and profits. We will refer to these as the 3Ps.

Performance management is the process used to manage this performance.

The key question asked is, "How well is an employee applying his or her current skills, and to what extent is he or she achieving the


7. How is your performance measured in your current job? What leadership performance measures does your organization employ (if any)?

Answer:

8. What role does CSR play within your organization? Research your organization’s CSR philosophies and literature? In your opinion, are the benefits to the organization tangible?
