It looks like the Vice President that your organization hired has a good strategic plan for assessing the work environment and it&#8217;s previous strengths and weaknesses. Your thoughts on\u00a0working with your team to build ownership are great. Do you think there is place for less formal interactions to create this ownership. I look at Lepsinger&#8217;s suggestion to not &#8220;merely welcome new ideas, but to actively solicit them&#8221; (2010, p. 14) and think that this is something done on a daily staff relationship level, it is done in discussions around the water cooler as often as it is done in formal meetings. Sometimes the greatest buy-in to an organization, comes from a good relationship between staff members.<\/p>\n<p>I really appreciate your clear response to the last question:\u00a0Using the Formal Groups section of Galbraith\u2019s Designing Organizations text, identify the design choices in your present working environment and compare it to the design choices you made for the function of your teams in this course? As far as the Charter goes, do you think the purpose is to just function and preform together in our learning of strategic leadership, or is it more to grow our understanding of strategic leadership through peer challenges and dialogue? I think of it more as Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. We are constantly negotiating the resources committed to the learning. The Leader Role is scheduled for us in our assignments, but in group meetings and discussions I view it more as the emergence leader dependant on the situation mentioned in Galbraith (2014, p. 92). We do have a rotating leader in the blog posts, but in our discussions of the upcoming assignment I feel that our team negotiates without a formal leader.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Galbraith, J. R.
