Manage Self, Lead Others: Emotional Intelligence and Leadership for Managers

#33 Unwritten Ground Rules - UGRs®, with Steve Simpson


Listen Later

UGRs® – Unwritten Ground Rules – are people’s perceptions of ‘this is the way we do things around here’.

Examples of UGRs in the workplace include:

  • At our meetings it isn’t worth complaining because nothing will get done.
  • The only time anyone gets spoken to by the boss is when something is wrong.
  • The company talks about good customer service, but we know they don’t really mean it, so we don’t really have to worry about it.

  • UGRs in a company constitutes its culture. Understand UGRs and we understand culture.
