Organisational Leadership and Values

Question:
Identify a key values-based challenge that an organisation is facing (or has faced), which requires a strategic organisational response to address. Design, formulate or conceptualise a strategy that will enable the organisation to overcome (hopefully) this key challenge. Provide:
1. An account of the organisation and the key values-based challenge it is facing (or has faced);
2. Using rich pictures (or other conceptual tools), illustrate how this key values-based challenge manifests in undesirable organisational beliefs, norms and behaviours, as well as cultural features;
3. Identify leverage points for addressing this key values-based challenge and propose remedial actions (e.g. through – but not restricted to – organisational design) for obtaining alignment between the organisation’s espoused values and enacted values (and consequently, behaviours and organisational culture);
4. Propose a process of engagement through which these remedial actions can be effected throughout the organisation.
