Abstract

University is a unique organization because of its paradox nature. It is a non-profit oriented and a business institution at the same time. The paradox necessitates Chancellors and Deans in self-funded private universities including those in Indonesia to act as a leader and a manager. Very often, the periodic leadership leads to turbulent times in private universities. New leaders with their visions, styles, expectations, and working habit might create conflict within the organization that hurts performance. Cultural diagnosis and analysis will help leaders to manage and solve the conflict that would lead to a better performance of the organization. In most cases, organizational culture lives longer than leaders and incongruence might happen between new leaders and the culture that will raise problems. The gap between leadership changes and the culture could be solved if the culture is intentionally planned. This essay explores the relationship between leadership change and organizational culture in a private university. Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) was applied to mapping organizational culture and focus group discussions were conducted to validate and probe deeper information. Result of the study shows that not all leadership changes lead to the rising of different culture. In leadership change situation, leaders are the people who are responsible to intentionally plan the culture for the benefit of the organization.
