How To Improve The Effectiveness Of An Organization

The hierarchical structures of authority, command, control side, formalization and standardization of detailed policies and procedures, which generally are used to regulate the operation standards of the companies and organizations, enabled these companies to operate with some level effectiveness in a relatively stable business environment, predictable.

When we look at the characteristics of the current environment, I think there is little or no organization that is facing the same conditions of stability and predictability.

Strategic leaders therefore need to create the context for organizational members to achieve improvements in their effectiveness in competitive circumstances dynamic, complex, uncertain, ambiguous and rapidly changing. This requires specific skills to solve an equation quite challenging.

On one hand the need for structure, predictability, planning to attend a different possible future scenarios, and on the other hand, the need to respond to unprecedented challenges independently, with flexibility of choice, with enforceability.

Organizational Agility is a strategic imperative: a greater autonomy, greater agility, greater agility, greater effectiveness. However, the flexibility in making decisions and actions must be organized in some way. The idea is that it can be arranged through a shared purpose for the people within the organization, with shared core values, for this purpose and these values ​​are structured and conducive to meeting employer.

Today more than ever the ability of a leader to create a certain state of consciousness, to give meaning to work, to strengthen the love and commitment to core values, to be respected in all actions, attitudes and responses by the people at work to different circumstances, it is becoming one of the crucial factors for success and sustainability.

This strategic leadership has an effect on organizational life analogous to the effect of a force field, for example, which produces a magnetic field on iron filings align the various particles making of iron filings without having to apply time and effort to locate one by one in the place where I want them.

Just place a magnet or create a magnetic field torque filings are organized without controlled at every moment. Therefore, this field structure affects processes and behaviors within the organization.

To some extent, a leader must be able to create a force field to organize the organizational chaos.
