 In addition to providing on-site
support and assistance, extensive support materials are available. Enhancing
Leadership Effectiveness: Strategies for Establishing and Maintaining
Effective Organizations will:
- Assist leaders in translating improvement priorities into action
plans,
- Help leaders gain new understandings concerning their behavior and
how it impacts the effectiveness of their administrative unit, and
- Provide a comprehensive summary for each of the ten dimensions
of Organizational Health. (Each of the ten chapters provides a solid
theoretical foundation as well as practical, tried-and-tested strategies
for improving that specific dimension.)
Enhancing leadership
effectiveness materials have been designed to assist leaders in improving
the Organizational Health of their administrative units. All leaders
receive one or two chapters so that they may focus their energies on
specific dimensions.
Each chapter contains a strong theoretical and conceptual base as well
as pragmatic strategies for translating these concepts into action.
Throughout the materials leaders are encouraged to improve the Organizational
Health of their administrative units by any one or a combination of
the following:
- Changing their behavior,
- Changing the behavior of work unit members,
- Changing structures within the organization, and
- Letting individuals know the "whys" behind management decisions.
Assessing the Organizational Health of administrative units on
an annual basis provides an objective and reliable method of focusing
organizational energies on continuous improvement for leaders and members
of their units. When leaders model perpetual learning, it will have a
positive impact upon members of their teams.
As a result of
improved Organizational Health, one can predict that the level of
organizational productivity will also increase.
