The emotional and human dimensions of organizational change
This essay is divided into four separate question and answer segments. Each segment is dedicated to leadership and organizational management and explores a concept that is related to the parent idea. The questions were answered with limited words and personal experience was also interjected to help contextualize and formalize the arguments contained within.
¶ … organizational change are very familiar to me and my experiences. He suggested that winning the minds and hearts of those involved in the workplace is every bit important as developing an impenetrable strategy. Iniitives are emotional in nature in my workplace and it seems that organizational change is much more nuanced than applying simple managerial mechanistic to the issue. Rather when things are going well in my workplace there appears to be a psychic connection between everyone as the collective group strives for the same things even though they are being rewarded in different emotions.
The hardcore facts of change and evolution ensure that each human life dies. Corporations, much like humans are also bred to die and evolve. Foster and Kaplan (2001) described this natural process in the corporate world as they remarked on the idea that we live in an "age of discontinuity" as represented by the high turnover rate of established corporations. This is best highlighted by the fact that only around 20 corporations existing today did so 100 years ago. This trend must be assigned to the irrefutable impact the sands of time and growth have on both the individual and the collective. Everything has its place and time including corporations. Market trends that reflect collective concerns are the impetus behind the change and hence the mortality of these organizations.
Question 3
Scientific management is the idea that people are machines and can be broken down ad infinitum for further analysis. The idea is based on segregation and compartmentalization as refinements to human behavior become standardized and applied. Scientific management demonstrates a strong allegiance to the corporate idea of using labor to its fullest advantage. Since human nature tends to defy management and seek independence, this technique has proved to be effective in the age of industrialization as it is further expanded upon in the 21st century. While the efficiency of such techniques are hard to debate, the effectiveness of scientific management remains in question as the state of our current society reflects problems that directly stem from humanity being artificially separated from his rightful place in nature.
