Caracas - Venezuela
innovative Greetings!
Certainly, there is a global recognition, global, global, international, regional, local and organizational level, the leadership and management in the world is in constant motion and change.
conversation with a colleague of the company where I work, we discussed the different approaches of organizations and was reading the book the author Gareth Morgan (1999). "Imagine-i-zation. A new fitness crucial to the conduct and management in a silent in motion and change. " Barcelona: Granica.
This book was her first English edition of 1997 and then published in the year 99 in English. Among one of his messages warning that an organization has no presence beyond the people who give life.
addition, the author argues that you can create a learning organization but it can increase the capacity of people to learn and direct their creative activities.
Many times, our ideas about organizations are based on images or metaphors which make us think and handle the situation in a particular way. From my point of view, metaphors create understanding of things, but also distort; have strengths also has its limitations.
This work consists of 13 chapters and encourage their reading, analysis and discussion. From its first chapter presents a new approach for turbulent times and how we can mobilize our capacities and mobilization to develop new ways to organize and manage change.
Chapter Two: Looking in the mirror: It illustrates how we can use imaginization as a means to create a new image of ourselves and our style of leadership and find new ways to add value to managers in flat organizations, flexible, decentralized where styles do not work hierarchy.
Chapter Three: Strategic Termites: This chapter describes how we can develop an approach to change management to avoid the dangers, pitfalls and limitations imposed by rigid plans. Then it shows some of the practical implications of modern theories of self-organization, indicating how they can be the order of chaos and how change oriented visionary to graduate the unplanned.
Chapter Four: About spider plants, explores how organizations can create and manage decentralized and self-organization can evolve in an open yet controlled. Offer suggestions and guidelines about how managers face the demands of multiple projects teams and business lines. How to make a distinction could be directed through what denomination "umbilical cords." These create an autonomous expansion may grow and prosper new initiatives, while respecting the need for integration and accountability within the organization as a whole.
far I stopped to see if commenting on chapter nine of which imaginize called teamwork.
This chapter shows how teamwork is a process of imagining. Explore with a conventional view in which the team has drawn on a limited range of metaphors and how it is possible to imagine new ways.
There is a clear warning in this chapter is that, if it is to use sports metaphors to reflect on teamwork, we must ensure first that is most appropriate for the game that interests us. In any organization
or business, a low complexity usually required for different types of teamwork. Some areas need synchronization of a rowing crew, others may need the firm hand of a football coach. Others, such as in baseball, perhaps should cultivate collaboration among a group of players whose success depends on efficient ultimately unpredictable reinforcements and a couple of really top players.
Some require the qualities of self-organization such as football or basketball. Others will need the organizational equivalent of scaling cliffs, which creates a sense of interdependence and mutual trust that allows members running huge personal risk and so on.
Imagi-i-zation is a way of thinking and organizing a key attitude that will help the manager understand and develop their own creative potential and innovative solutions to difficult problems.
Responds to claim more creative forms of organization and management and shows how we can fulfill new roles in a changing and uncertain world, leading by example and study provides concrete evidence of actual cases of how this approach may be to practice.
Specifically this, the work shows how to modify their conception of the functions of the manager, so and to create more flexible and innovative forms of organization and third, how to build your own toolbox to meet the future challenge and many more. This book is highly suggested for reading.
