A challenge facing organizational leaders and senior managers today is ..." how best to create the organizational culture where all employees are fully committed to the organization’s mission and objectives?"
Another challenge, but no less important, is managing the 'fit' between customer needs, structures, technology and people. With the recognition that participative leadership and management is not simply a passing fad, but rather a long term strategy, leaders and managers are working to effectively link their organizations' people, processes, structure and technology in ways that optimize all of their resources.
In those instances where this linkage has been effectively made, the organizations can be said to have achieved a state of "high performance."
High performance organizations present, in varying degrees, five key management
practices (behaviors). These practices are:
Delegation
Empowerment
Integration Shared
Purpose Teamwork
