Emerges out of the group, people invest in it, then it becomes part of organizational culture that is produced together. Other people agree and follow along with the walk. No set time, not clearly ruled, out of the norm. She values times (wants things to happen faster than org. makes it happen) Intimidated, minority, hard to stand up, saw someone else get rejected. Artifact; can see it, it"s the norm, produced in the org. Value; shared meeting, values of time, health, space. Think of organizations as having their own special. Explanations- clarity of explaining, lack of knowledge. Myths about how work is done or what it means to work here. Everyone is unique, even if they try to hire everyone the same.
