Any organization should have an established constitution and bylaws at the beginning in order to have a standard for organizational decisions, as well as for the definition of its identity.

1. The Significance of an
Organization’s Constitution
and Bylaws

2. The tendency of an organization to move in a standard pace is almost impossible
when there is no baseline set of definitions and rules to outline the movement on.
Across all designed leadership development programs, it has been a necessary
injunction that organizations be taught to establish their constitution and bylaws.
These bylaws are to form the organization’s foundation from which to jump off
whenever an organizational decision has to be made.
Without doubt, a movement’s constitution and bylaws (CBL) plays a fundamental
role in any organization. In fact, without it, the organization begs to be defined by
the current body of members who compose it. The problem with this temporary
definition of the organization s that it eventually becomes variable according to
whoever heads the group. Consequently, there seems to appear a new version of
the organization every time a new set of officers would be elected. Eventually, the
group’s identity would become confusing and ultimately questionable.
Experts of management consulting, even in Perth, WA, would recommend that a
CBL be established right from the beginning of a new organization. If a certain
movement has long been running without a CBL, most likely it is established with a
deferred promise of constructing a CBL in some future time. Yet this setup has
repeatedly been proven to cause problems among the officers as well as the
members. For any group that has encountered this dilemma, it would be important
to take time to finish the construction and the ratification of the bylaws in order to
maximize the progress of the movement.
While it may be comparatively easy to understand the significance of a CBL to any
organization, it may not be that simple to start even with the draft. The draft will
not only be the springboard of the currently developed CBL, but it may also serve
as the baseline material for future adaptations, amendments or revisions.
In the case where the group is actually a mother organization to several smaller
organizations, the significance of the CBL cannot be overly emphasized. The
daughter organizations would have to base their own CBLs from that of the mother
organization. These adapted CBLs would have, as a result, only a set of provisions
that is allowable under the provisions of the mother organization. Therefore, as
executive coaching professionals, even those in Perth, WA, strongly recommend
that any mother organization should develop its constitution and bylaws with much
care as it seeks to minimize problems among its daughter societies.
