Dear All,
There is a thumb rule that water flows from top to bottom, and the same is true for corporate culture. In most cases, the culture valued by a corporation is influenced by the nature of the topmost person handling the business, and this is often due to the reporting structure of the organization. Most of the time, the HR Head works in good confidence with the topmost authority and acts according to their decisions.
Unfortunately, all mistakes are often attributed to HR, while achievements are credited to top leaders, reflecting the philosophy of corporate culture.
Thanks

I tend to agree with Rajeev (rkc30). Not wanting to be a confrontinist, HR often tend to toe the thoughts of Topmost authority, to the detriment of an organisation and self. seshadri

Excellent article - thanks for sharing. I believe that Rajeev and Seshadri are right about HR itself not wanting to "disturb" top management. "Face-saving" is a prominent feature of Japanese national culture, so it would probably take extraordinary efforts to help management and employees behave differently. It would be well worth it, but someone very high up has to realize this.

I appreciate your queries regarding the downfall of Toyota. But what solutions do you offer? Why is a mechanical failure being attributed to the entire HR processes? Can HR take the onus of all business failures?
Thank you.

Thanks a lot. really a good one. By taking this as an example most of the companies should concentrate in strengthening their HR policies so as not to face the same situation.
