Going hand in hand with this is workplaces that embrace diversity and openness, are not opposed to self-expression, promote individual recognition for hard work as well as resulting compensation (more than a base pay) for doing what they are good at\u2026 and they work in a community offering an engaging and even edgy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>So where do I see disconnects between South Korea and America?<\/p>\n<p>For starters in America the old Fordism and Company Man model at least for the creative class has shifted. Workers were once strongly tied to the company, this relationship nicely summed up by Richard Florida, \u201cYou were a company man, identifying with the company and often moving largely in the circles created or dictated by it.\u201d Today, creatives value their unique social identity&#8211;one able to move intact from firm to firm and well as assuming the risks and absorbing the benefits companies once backed.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, rooted in Korean norms and collectivism, Korean workers strongly identify with their company\u2014perhaps more so within the major Groups like Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and SK, as well as those working for a high profile global brands in Korea like Nike.<\/p>\n<p>These organizations tend to be highly traditional vertical (and often horizontal) corporations\u2014 top-down management hierarchically flowing workload down to teams (most often operating in silos) with the Taylorized expectancy they follow routines and norms long established. In contrast, a creative work culture dies when so regimented as Florida points out, \u201c like rote work in the old factory or office.\u201d A long hour chained to cubical cranking out Point points is very different than a culture where ideas are conceptualized inside one\u2019s head in a caf\u00e9 over a latte or during a trail run.<\/p>\n<p>All said, one could argue Korea may not be wired for fostering a sustainable creative culture.<\/p>\n<p>What I do find as encouraging is many in Korea on a personal level attracted to and appreciate counter-culture. There is an ever growing segment is their society adopting a lifestyle more conducent to creativity. Much of this influence has been Koreans exposed to the global art scene, the influence of expat non-Koreans, plus Koreans embracing their own traditional artisan heritage. In some ways, this movement has taken on a rather edgy Bohemian feel\u2026 one I find very cool.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Dylan-and-60s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-971\" src=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Dylan-and-60s-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan and 60s\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Dylan-and-60s-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Dylan-and-60s.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seoul LP Bars, the 60s and Dylan.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Korean media reports there are a growing number of \u201cdives with DJs and extensive collections of LPs,\u201d many located in ultra-hip neighborhoods\u2026. walls plastered with album covers from the likes of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and B.B.
