Sustainable development, also known as global corporate citizenship and eco-efficiency, is the ultimate leadership challenge in the world today (World Economic Forum, 2006; Engel, 2008). There is nothing more pressing or more urgent. Our world is in trouble with environmental crisis, social crisis, energy crisis, and economic crisis. Therefore, we need leaders at every level of our societies and organizations to answer the ultimate call to action: to save the planet, its people, and their profits. This is the calling of the leader in sustainable development. After all, business cannot survive in a world and society that fails (d’Humières, 2005, pp. XI-XVI).

What thoughts come to mind when you hear the word “millennial?” How are these beliefs driving or hindering the success of your organization? Data shows that millennials have just as much potential as their predecessors. In this session, learn what contributes to millennial uniqueness, debunk the most widely believed “millennial myth” and identify top strategies for cultivating a positive multigenerational workforce to amplify organizational performance. It’s time to bridge the generational gap to encourage talent development for all and leverage generational diversity as a fundamental organizational asset.

1. Traditional Approaches to Leaders’ Impact on Organizations
Scores of research studies are built on the assumption that effective leadership is a key component essential for organizational success. From the battlefield to the boardroom, we are told, wins and losses are determined by decisions and behaviors of those who lead. The plethora of leadership-training programs may be an indicator that many perceive (or even assume) that there is a direct relationship between leaders and organization performance. In The Leadership Gap: Building Capacity for Competitive Advantage, Weiss and Molinaro (2005) established their premise by stating “leadership has become the primary source of competitive advantage in organizations around the world” (p. 4). These authors used case-study methods to reinforce the ideas that organizations’ lack of leadership capacity can be addressed through leadership development.
But both in research and organizations, there are those who challenge the “effective leadership = enhanced performance” supposition (Dihn, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, & Hu, 2014; Storey, 2010).
LePine, Zhang, Crawford, and Rich (2016) conducted a three-part study to test relationships among charismatic leadership, stress, and performance. Subjects were members of the United States Marine Corps. Findings suggested that charismatic leader behavior negated the negative effects of stressors on performance according to assessments by the leaders or their supervisors. And these authors found that high-level stressors were more positively viewed when charismatic leader behaviors were exhibited. However, the researchers discovered that charismatic leader behavior did not influence how Marines perceived stressors. An underlying assumption in LePine, Zhang, Crawford, and Rich’s (2016) research was that leaders do affect performance. The results, while not conclusive enough to reject the assumption, did open avenues for new dialogue and recommendations for further testing.
Dihn, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, and Hu (2014) suggested that the preponderance of research on leadership behaviors and traits may have led to assumptions about an overstated influence of the individual. In Module 1 we examined the evolution of leadership approaches from the early modern era to the postmodern era. We know that context—such as environment, capital, and goals—influences organizational design, structure, and management/leadership practices. We learned that a stable organization relies on controls to gain efficiency. Leader-centric thinking was readily accepted in the modern organization. And, research studies were designed around those assumptions, perhaps even reinforcing those assumptions.
More recently, organizations shifted structures, philosophies, and operating procedures to adapt to social, economic, political, and technological pressures. Even so, leadership researchers continued to outpace other scholars who investigated additional variables that might impact org ...

Organizational Structure and Design
The way an organization is designed and structured can have significant effects on its members and its ability to execute its strategy. In this module we will try to understand those effects and analyze the behavioral implications of different organizational designs.
An organizational structure defines how job tasks are formally divided, grouped, and coordinated. According to Robbins and Judge (2014) managers need to address six key elements when they design their organization’s structure:
Work specialization
—the extent to which activities are subdivided into separate jobs.
Departmentalization
—the basis on which jobs will be grouped together.
Chain of command
—the people to whom individuals and groups report.
Span of control
—the number of individuals that a manager can direct efficiently and effectively.
Centralization and decentralization
—the locus of decision-making authority.
Formalization
—the extent to which there will be rules and regulations to direct employees and managers.
A simple, but classical, classification of organizational designs focuses on
mechanistic
versus
organic
design. The mechanistic design is characterized by extensive departmentalization, high formalization, a limited information network, and centralization. The organic design is characterized by low formalization, flat hierarchy and the use of cross-hierarchical and cross-functional teams, free flow of information, and decentralization. Each design has advantages and disadvantages. For example, a mechanistic design is good for keeping the costs of standardized products or services down, but it inhibits innovation and creativity. Read this short summary comparing mechanistic and organic organizational structures:
Mechanistic vs. Organic Organizational Structure: Contingency Theory (2014) BusinessMate.Org
http://www.businessmate.org/Article.php?ArtikelId=44
A more sophisticated look at organizational structure considers the different ways that work is organized and coordinated to best fit the organization’s mission and objectives. Common forms are divisional structures, functional structures, team-based or process structures, and flexible structures. The key learning here is that the structure selected should match the organization’s strategy—or it will be very difficult for the organization to be successful.
The following reading explains these different structures, reviews their advantages and disadvantages, and suggests the strategic considerations for when each should be used. Though this article is on the older side, it is still right on target.

Original question:
Analyze how the effectiveness of global leadership development is evaluated in your organization or one you’ve worked for in the past. Provide recommendations based on our readings and your own research.
Post 1
For the week five discussion board, I focused on the National Institutes of Health (NIH), mainly because I found a really interesting, and concise, step-by-step guide for succession planning. This guide also included at table, or a 9-box approach, that indicated the criticality and vulnerability of positions. The NIH Human Resource Department has a very informative and thorough website, which I hoped would provide information on how it, as a group of institutions, measured the effectiveness of their leadership development programs. I’ve learned that they export, or sell, these leadership courses to medical practitioners globally, which may be one of the reasons they do not have as much information on assessing the value of leadership development programs as I would have hoped.
Much like Kristine, I thought I’d look into how we can describe and assess programs and then I can bring it back to the limited information I’ve found on the NIH. I liked how one of our readings this week in the context of measuring the effectiveness of a leadership development program as it relates to the costs and investment in a person or position. In the conclusions by Edwards & Turnbull (2013), their approach requires both a macro and micro view of interconnections and networks that exist and the extent in which they’ve been influenced. Additionally, in an article I found, the link between measuring the return on investment with leadership development was assessed. In many cases, there wasn’t enough tailoring of leadership programs to the business needs of an organization or company, which can make for less productive outcomes as well as difficulty in measuring the effectiveness (MeInert, 2018). In another example, a blog from the Harvard Business Learning, focus should be on the impact of a program, not the “proof†that a leadership development program was successful (Clark, 2018). In both of these complementary examples, the authors stressed the length of time needed to allow leadership to begin synthesizing materials and examples into their operational approach, a minimum of nine months was recommended as an adequate period of time (Meinert, 2018). Other, maybe more traditional Human Resources tools were also recommended, such as 360 degree reviews, measurement of output, time, and quality, as well as reporting on the perceived tangible and intangible benefits of the leadership training or development programs (Meinert, 2018). From our text this week, Mendenhall & Reiche (2018), the u.

learning.
This book is based on organization development which is a process that is broadly applied in behavioral science practices and knowledge that helps organizations in building their capacity to achieve greater and change effectiveness. This includes employee satisfaction, environmental sustainability and increased financial performances. It also examines assumptions, models, and background of organization development, strategies and other aspects of organization development (OD). I choose this book as it has elaborated the concept of OD to detail as well as its historical evolution in the past 60 years.
Fox, H. L. (2013). The promise of organizational development in nonprofit human services
Organizations. Organization Development Journal, 31(2), 72.
The author advocates for mentally ill, sick children, domestic violence victims, and child abuse and neglect victims. Nonprofit human services organizations which function under an ideology that aims at change for the community, individual, nation, region or world through their missions of advocacy and service. Nonprofit agencies sometimes are caught up in competitive environments as they function with not enough or decreasing resources as well as increasing demand for services. The author feels that organizational development efforts will upgrade internal systems management, build organizations capacity and also develop personnel. This article can be useful because it explores some issues applicable to providing organizational development in these nonprofit agencies which serve as a primer to those thinking of issuing organizational development services.

The belief behind much of this research is that organizational culture is a significant social trait that influences individual, group as well as organizational behavior .it is believed to be shared among organizational levels thus influencing the behaviors and attitudes of employees. Moreover, it a set of assumptions that an organizational or group holds which determines how it thinks, perceives or reacts to different environments.I would use this article since it has explained how organizational development is determined by beliefs, norms or values of an organization.

Organizational Culture
Have you ever observed how some organizations just seem to be shining stars in their fields, even if the product or service they produce is not that much different from their competitors? Have you noticed that it seems that they are the ones who are the most successful? Did you ever wonder why? Read the following material on organizational culture for some insights into what culture is, what it does, how it is formed, and how it is taught to newcomers in the organization. This reading is available in the Trident University Library.

The way an organization is designed and structured can have significant effects on its members and its ability to execute its strategy. In this module we will try to understand those effects and analyze the behavioral implications of different organizational designs.
An organizational structure defines how job tasks are formally divided, grouped, and coordinated. According to Robbins and Judge (2014), managers need to address six key elements when they design their organization’s structure:
Work specialization – the extent to which activities are subdivided into separate jobs.
Departmentalization – the basis on which jobs will be grouped together.

Span of control – the number of individuals that a manager can direct efficiently and effectively.
Centralization and de-centralization – the locus of decision-making authority.
Formalization – the extent to which there will be rules and regulations to direct employees and managers.
One way to gain insight into the complexity of organizations and how organizations are structured or designed is through metaphors. For example, using metaphors, an organization can be talked about as if it were a machine or as if it were an organism. The organization that is like a machine is characterized by extensive departmentalization, high formalization, and limited by low formalization, flat hierarchy and the use of cross-hierarchical and cross-functional teams, free flow of information, and decentralization. Each design has advantages and disadvantages. For example, organizations that are like machines are often good at keeping the costs of standardized products or services down, but could inhibit innovation and creativity. Read the excerpt (pp. 98-108) for insight into organizational design and how metaphor.
