The word "spirit" captures the essence of this new approach to organization building in a reengineered environment. In this single word, some authors identify that aspect that makes men distinct from animals, the element that allows man to rise above his weaknesses, and reach sublime heights of achievement. If the HR manager can prod line managers to harness all that is noble and good about their workforce, and build it into one cohesive, positive corporate spirit - imagine the heights their company can reach.
So, what is corporate spirit? How is it different from team spirit? We often refer to team spirit, but this term implies cooperation and teamwork among one group only. Corporate spirit is a collective vision, a unity of purpose, a burning desire for excellent organizational performance. It connotes pride in one's work and in one's corporate identity. It suggests organizational commitment and trust in one another.
Admittedly, this kind of environment is more threatening to managers than the change in processes undertaken during reengineering. If we believe Champy, then line managers need to reengineer themselves before real reengineering takes place. And when line managers face this reality, HR practitioners must be on hand to help them chart the new course and visualize the new culture, as well as to formulate new HR systems that will suit the reengineered workplace. More importantly, HR practitioners will have to produce a new breed of managers who will then have to work together with a more empowered workforce. Their new direction - working towards building the corporate spirit.
Team building events place people on the same team so that they begin to see each other as team mates who must pull together to win. This feeling then spills over into their working relationships and their workplace. Suddenly they start to work together as a team rather than several different entities that just happen to work for the same company.
