Week 2 - Given the four basic organizational design challenges

Week 2 D 581

Given the four basic organizational design challenges we have been introduced to this week, choose one and look for a quote from a management or leadership guru -preferably one you have been introduced to through your readings and class content (such as Drucker, Deming, or Senge)- that you believe sums up the conflict implicit to the design challenge you chose and/or the opportunities that you recognize as being an integral part of it from your perspective as leader. In what ways does your organization manage this balance?

Present the quote, attribute it, and then give an explanation as to how this quote addresses in some way the dilemma confronting your organization and your professional context.
