Organizing is one of the core functions of leaders because it is the key to efficient use of resources. However, it seldom receives due attention, because it requires looking at accepted practices with fresh eyes. Instead, managers often “work-around” ineffective systems and structures, which adds complexity, cost, and redundancy.
Redesigning systems and structures begins with overall assessment of the organization and industry context and detailed understanding of current systems. Creating an effective organization requires making pragmatic trade-offs among multiple desirable qualities such as between autonomy and control or between specialization and integration. Leaders, who have a sense of urgency, rightly do not want to get bogged down shuffling boxes on org charts. LeadershipImpact provides tools, perspective, and hands-on support to expedite the process of working through and resolving issues rather than working around them.
