Problem
I used to work for an organization that placed a high value on understanding the organization and ensured the processes, policies, and procedures were created in the hope of maximizing profit. However, the value of individuals and groups was not really on their radar. This caused burnout, turnover, and stagnant careers. If you worked in marketing or finance, then that is the department you had to stay in. There was not an option to move departments if something else interested you. How do you think understanding individuals and groups would have helped this company be effective? In what ways would adaptive leadership be appropriate in this scenario?
