Also just like i want to feel connected to my work

Also just like I want to feel connected to my work and my organization, that is what I
want from my staff and I will strive to make this happen for them.
The thing that will forever play over in my mind is without people an organization cannot be successful. I
never really thought of this and I think I was surprised in a good way that this truth has been identified
to the point that organizations are shifting in order to meet the needs of the employees of their
organization. Where I work, they certainly are encouraging managers to hold 1:1 meetings with staff
throughout the year, holding regular staff meetings in which staff are recognized by the manager or their
peer for doing a good job not matter how big or small. My organization has even equipped managers
with what they call a “manager’s toolkit” which consists of gift cards and thank you notes that managers
are able to give to any of their staff they want to recognize. We also have an organization employee of
the month as well as shout-outs that are posted on our organization website recognizing employees for
helpful deeds. Things learned in this course helped me see that my organization does recognize that
employees are important and are moving in the right direction in their attempt to acknowledge them. I
think they are also thinking about effective talent management in order to decrease turnover as much as
possible in an attempt to keep top performers in the healthcare industry.

After reading the article “ Let's Drive a Stake In the Heart of the Industrial Age ” discuss the
following organizational behavior (OB) aspects:

How do you plan to use the OB tools that you learned about this term to assist the
transformational process in organizational models?

Explore transformational opportunities in leadership models further as discussed in the article.
Respond to two of your peers. Were there any similarities or differences in any of your peers’
responses that provide insight to trends in perspectives on OB tools? Did your peers provide any
insight into the transformational opportunities you may have overlooked? Explain and discuss
with your peers in your follow-up posts.
Using organizational behavior tools to assist in the transformation process or
organizational models.
The subject of organization behavior is important for leadership to examine when they are
strategizing plans for organization success. Since it is evident that people are the driving force of
the success of any organization understanding human behavior within the organization is
important. I plan to use the organizational behavior tools learned in this course by first
identifying the culture of the work area. If the culture is not one that fosters growth, then a plan
needs to be implement that will change the culture. I want employees to feel they are important
to what we do and that we are a team.
