자주 묻는 질문
According to the Schein Organizational Culture Model discussed in the script, climate is the surface-level perception of how things are going, such as feeling like a "good person" on a particular day. In contrast, culture is the deep-seated set of underlying assumptions and artifacts—like your actual calendar and habits—that determine how you behave when things get difficult. Real change requires addressing the deep-seated culture rather than just the surface-level climate.
Implementation Intentions use an "if-then" framework to automate better decision-making and reduce decision fatigue. By pre-deciding a specific response to a recurring trigger—for example, "If I feel the urge to interrupt someone, then I will take a breath and count to three"—you create a practical playbook that helps your actions align with your values even when you are under stress.
The Front Page Test is a mental filter used to evaluate the integrity of a potential action. Before making a decision, you ask yourself if you would be comfortable seeing that choice reported on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper. This exercise acts as a personal regulatory framework, ensuring that your private actions can stand up to public scrutiny.
Digital compassion is the conscious effort to recognize the humanity behind screen names to counteract "online disinhibition," where people say things online they would never say in person. It involves pausing to consider tone and intent before responding, seeking context before judging a post, and resisting the urge to use shame as a tool for change.
Artifacts are the visible, physical elements of your life that reflect your true priorities, such as your browser history, your trash can, your daily schedule, or where you keep your phone. A "Personal Culture Audit" involves looking at these artifacts to see if they actually match your "espoused values." For example, if you value presence but your phone is always on the dinner table, the artifact contradicts the value.
