After Reading and reflecting on the threads in the Secondary section of the organisational description of other student’s school contexts, I have come to a conclusion that there is every combination of structure, management, communication styles and outside influences and that the results of these combinations don’t always equal the same organisational environment. Whether the school is Independent, Catholic or a State school, all have a variety of structural leadership and management styles.
I noticed that student’s referral to the organisation as an ‘organism’ was a popular choice and rightly so.
Being a Biology teacher, I enjoy this metaphor that supports the view that an organisation depends on each of its parts (staff) to carry out functions together to survive. Organisations are biological entities.
So, upon reflection, Generally the traditional styles management, with rigid hierarchical systems and that are highly bureaucratic seem to foster negative feelings in its employees. How then do we maintain effective management and leadership styles to improve attitude and relationships in the workplace?
I believe we start with a less traditional approach.
