Response to MARCELOWARKENTIN’s Contextualizing Thank you for your clear description and explanation of the culture and community you come to us from. Your insight has been eyeopening and helped me reflect on times where I have worked in different cultural situations. We often come to these classes with “western-first-world” glasses on, viewing all discussion in light […]
Response to “Palak’s Competencies at Work” Thank you for your honest assessment of the principles and competencies covered in the course. I found your discussion on the The Lateral Organization (Galbraith, 2014) helpful and reminded me of content from another course. Galbraith’s discussion of the Lateral Organization works well with transformational servant leadership principals. It […]
Post 8 Strategic Leadership Competencies Detail how you will incorporate these competencies into your organizational practices and why. Galbraith’s discussion on synergy was enlightening (2014, p255-259). I have heard the word synergy mentioned in jest as a word managers throw around that has little true meaning.

It is very difficult when conflict sidelines the mission of the organization. I too have dealt […]

Response to Sea Breeze’s Post Post 4.1 Positive and Negative Influences in LSD#35 I focused mostly on your areas of negative influence because I felt like I could relate to some of the areas you mentioned and had similar areas of encouragement. In my current school my principal is actively visible. I remember attending a principal’s […]
Response to: If Only I Had the Chance… (Post 4.1) Stella I read your paragraph after I had written a paragraph on the Blue Ocean Strategy and had a very similar thought. We are there to shine a light into the world. We are the space between public education and the church (Ungerer et al., […]
Positive performance in areas of: Human Resources, Corporate Identity, Organizational Culture, etc Whitney states: “If headquarters sees the marketplace from 20,000 feet, then the business unit’s managers see it from 2,000 feet—or from 200 if they’re smart.” (2014).
