Organizational Health Trumps Organizational Intelligence

Anyone who has worked in an unhealthy organization knows the personal and corporate toll of living with politics, dysfunction, confusion, and bureaucracy. In this presentation, the model for organizational health as created by NY Times best-selling author, Patrick Lencioni, will be explained in detail and connected to one of the newest tools for HR Professionals, “The Six Types of Working Genius”. From a cohesive leadership team comes the clarity which creates and feeds healthy organizations.

Humans and their behavior are at the center of any organization, healthy or unhealthy. Merely hiring smart people, assigning them to a team and expecting great things from them is a little naïve. People who work in unhealthy organizations eventually lose passion for their work and view success as unlikely or worse, out of their control. Wasted resources and time, decreased productivity, employee turnover and eventually customer attrition all headline the downward spiral of unhealthy organizations.

With a simple model, four disciplines create a structure that delivers identified purpose, complete leadership alignment, improved employee retention, and increased productivity.
