\"\"<\/a>Last week, as part of our discussion on Handy’s Gods of Management Theory<\/strong><\/a>, we talk about the Athena culture. This week we continue with the Dionysus culture. The last type of culture that Charles Handy discusses is the Dionysus culture, also known as person culture (and often called the existential culture). In a person culture, the organization exists to help the individual achieve his\/her purpose and the focus of the culture is the success of the employees rather than the company. This is in sharp contrast to the other three cultures where the individual is subordinate to the organization and exists solely to achieve the purpose of the organization.<\/p>
