Course overview
Most organizations and companies place privacy pretty high on their priority list. But sometimes the line between privacy and secrecy gets a little too blurry. When this happens, certain negative norms can come about and impact an organization. And sometimes the problem is simply recognizing where the secrecy is, because it doesn’t exactly make itself obvious.
A shadow organization is a part of an organization that’s hidden, unknown, or generally unspoken about. Often, the shadow side of an organization is inactive, and when it is it’s generally harmless. But, when it becomes active, it can become a problem. Without proper management, shadow organizations can be disruptive to company life, performance, and culture.
