Building A Working Paradigm
Generally, the paradigm is defined as a set of beliefs or basic beliefs which determine a person to act on every day’s life. Paradigm is like a window where someone observes the outside world, where someone explores the world with his perception or kind of world view. Does every employee or even the management in a certain company realize that they had a paradigm? Not necessarily.
Not all companies understand and realize that the paradigm can bring someone to direct his behavior. It is aware that each individual basically has its own mindset, views, insight, and mental model. For example, it could be that the manager has a perception that the employees are irresponsible, lazy, and worthless. Instead of employees considered that they were responsible, hardworking, and high value.

Working paradigm is directing the activities of every individual in the company to achieve its goals and the employee’s goals. Although it is not visible and without realizing its presence, a paradigm is greatly affect on the working environment. Example, in the 70′s, the managers of the American automobile industry had a paradigm which stated that “Our customers are only interested and concerned with the look of a car“. So what happened after the statement appeared?
