Reframing Organizations

A book that has been foundational for me trying to make sense of orchestras is Reframing Organizations, by Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal. I'll be returning to their framework in later posts, so I'm taking a moment to sketch it out here.

Our vision: is to provide a safe home for the youth and to enable them to reach their full potential as citizens.

Purpose/Mission – The mission is to actively represent the community to focus support for every child’s success.

The seven organizational approaches to studying the human body include: body plans and directions, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscopic-to-macroscopic, body systems, and medical specialty. The body planes and directions approach is the division of the body into sections from front to back, right and left, top and bottom, along with the movement toward or away from the body planes. The Coronal Plane or frontal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into front and back sections. The front of the body is known as the anterior or ventral section and the back of the body is

For the realization of these mission and vision, the division has to meet the following aims and objectives:

These objectives are a necessity for our government to assimilate, construct, and implement strategic plans to further the organization goals, missions, and goals. Furthermore, defining goals empowers an organization to develop effective policies and workforce programs. The government and CSSD both have many obtainable objectives, and one of the ultimate goals is to improve the economic stability and strengthen family ties. Setting measurable goals and regularly monitoring future progress enables our government to strive to meet strategic objectives, ensure the values of the citizens are met, along with ensuring that the public needs are

Presently, the worldview will always influence the change in an organization since everyone has a different perspective about strategy and structure before defining a strategy. Interestingly, an organization, the structure still follows strategy. Both terms, structure, and strategy are basically from the Bible since it discusses the way we organize the world and the way we observe the world. Moreover, an organizational leader should be able to reconcile opposing viewpoints without giving any fault or compromising the principle by dealing with the other in a method that fits the other best. This type of action brings into an alignment with its significance sequence accordingly, creating industrialized, marketing, and human resource strategies

The book The Heart of Change shows the practical side of the theories that are taught in the course textbook. It presents stories of successes and failures based in the application of concepts discussed in Organizational Behavior and Management and in class. Although we talked about several different concepts the ones that are evident in the examples in The Heart Of Change are the more progressive and individual centered approaches. The leadership characteristics that are important to successful change in an organization are those that are espoused in the transformational theory of management. It makes sense that ideals in line with the transformational management theory

Throughout our final semester of study at Maryville, our cohort has studied Peter Senge’s, The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization. Rather than set of management practices, the book describes how organizations, especially those that are sustainably competitive, know how to learn. These “learning organizations” are continuously learning how to work together, where the norm is producing their best. In the book, Senge identifies five essential elements, that when practiced together, create perfect conditions for an effective learning organization. These five practices are Personal Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Vision,

What do you hear? Chaos? Confusion? No, it is the music heard daily as you take walk in the shoes of an Emergency Room nurse.

If one looks at the organization as a human body with a respiratory system, a skeleton, and a brain, the culture of the organization is its face. The organizational culture determines how individuals, both in and outside of the organization, perceive the way business is conducted. The National Defense University Website, in a section called Organizational Culture, highlights several cultural forms including language, use of symbols, ceremonies, customs, methods of problem solving, use of tools or technology, and design of work settings that create the way the organization is perceived (NDU 2009). An example of this idea is a restaurant. Most restaurants divide the business in the “front of the house” and the “back of

Self-reflection sometimes is the best feedback that an individual can receive, and the same is true for an organization. Understanding where an organization sits emerged in an industry often calls for a shake up or changes in methods, practices or even product. The focus is not necessarily what the changes are or is but rather how they are executed, who is affected, proactively foreseeing rejection, and how the change is adopted by the company’s employees. The changes within my own company have been ongoing for almost an entire year now, and I have been on the front line of the shift.

The mission statement lays out the organization’s “purpose for being,” and the vision statement is

The mission and the value of the goals is to assist the people of the community to strengthen themselves and gain confidence that they able to achieve their goals for their families and themselves.
