Brady's observations are an example of the norms of the new organization. Norms are the unwritten rules and expectations of behavior within a group or organization. The norms of his previous organization were different from the norms of his current organization, as professionalism and punctuality were emphasized in his previous organization while it is not necessarily the case in his new organization.
