What is "Organizational Health?"

"The single greatest advantage any company can achieve is organizational health" (Lencioni, 2012). I completely agree with this statement. But, what are the elements of "organizationaal health?" Here are a few key ones:

  • Minimal internal politics
  • Effective organizational structures and processes (e.g., hierarchy, roles and responsibilities, communication, etc.)
  • Effective leadership (a behaviorally aligned leadership team and effective middle management)
  • Effective use of conflict resolution processes (This is a hard one for many companies)
  • Effective orientation and reinforcement of employees to the key values and processes

These elements may sound easy and common sense, but are often neglected by organizations, to their own detriment.
