Response to Pierre’s Challenge of “Stella’s Strategic Competencies || Blog 8.1: D’Oh! Hello Stella, Thank you for your response post. I now have more understanding of how the education system works (although I’m sure there’s much more to it). I am intrigued by the complexity of education; I was certain teachers were entirely responsible for […]
Thank you Avisha for your critical evaluation. I agree with the point you mentioned regarding trust issues. Zaagman, E. said in his blog about his conversation with a Chinese executive when he visited China Which is “I don’t want to encourage trust on my team. If my people are afraid of me and each other, […]
Thank you for your thoughts, Layla. I agree with how you explained the organizational change as the change in employees; however, it might not be possible to compare the organizational change process to that of addicts. Organizational employees have accountability of the organization and despite their human tendency to revert to stages, they have certain […]
Pierre, you have mentioned a good point about the supportive environment. I really like your idea of spending 15 minutes on the unit with staff to explore their day, challenges, and how they can be supported. I do something similar first thing in the morning when I go do my rounds around the cottages. Although…
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Kunal. As I read through your post, I needed more clarification to understand the “three least essential principles” that you pointed out for your organization.

COMPETENCIES Becoming a Strategic Leader (Hughes, Beatty, & Dinwoodie, 2014, p. 268-269) identifies 11 competencies necessary for strategic leader development. While I am not currently in a position of formal leadership, I have worked for numerous leaders with varying styles who always influence their employees. Both effective and ineffective leadership examples have influenced my own…
I am in accord with both Kunal and Palak, clarifying assumptions and priorities is indeed necessary for any organizational setup. It not only helps to prioritize work to run a company better (Kunal, 2018) but also ensures that everyone on the team is on the same page and assists the employees to work together in […]
“Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything”- George Bernard Shaw I second Layla’s statement that adaptation is the most important competency. However, just being able to adapt to the rapid or continuously changing environment is not enough, a person should be ready to face disruptive changes as well which requires both linear and […]
Thanks for sharing about your work environment Kunal. It looks like you have a lot on your plate as an administrator and your company is not giving enough credits to the employees. Also, you mentioned the organization is having trust issues with every worker (Kunal, 2018). The committee is just adopting ideas they think are […]
