A633.3.4.RB – Complexity Science
The
organization, which I work for, has evolved over time through trial and error,
we work using a complex system that is sensitive to change and each individual
involved must be adaptable to the circumstances. Furthermore, changes in
leadership have helped develop the organization to teach each person within the
department to work autonomously to be as efficient as possible. Obolensky
(2010) stated that personal feedback is done to evolve in an organization from
the typical one-way process of boss to subordinate towards a more fluid and
inclusive 360-degree approach. This also places self-correcting responsibility
on an individual rather than controlling from the top.
In order
for the organization to continue to develop and evolve strategy development is
needed. Through the evolution of strategy Obolensky (2010) explained that there
is a move away from content of what the strategy is to process of how the strategy
is evolving. Organizations must continue to develop and change as time,
technology, and demand happen. Therefore, the organization I work for will
continue to progress and changes of leadership, management, and practices will
continue to evolve and adjust, as strategies need to change. One means of
finding out what is working currently and what is no longer needed is sending
out surveys to patients and employees, this helps guide the changes needed and
provides feedback that leadership can use to make adjustments where necessary.
In
10 years, I hope to be done with medical school and practice as a doctor, and
to change how the health organization leads their employees. I would like to
obtain a position, in which, my leadership skills will come in handy and teach
others the magic of team and ethical work. There is really no way to know what
exactly will happen in ten years from today, but I can certainly say, that I
will always advocate for organizations to have leadership more so than
management. As Heraclitus said, “Change is the only constant in life.”
