ORGANIZATION EFFECTIVENESS
Wise leaders fully understand that while effectiveness is about doing the right thing, efficiency is about doing things right. Frequently, however, organizations become very good at doing the wrong things right or the right things wrong. These are the ineffectual organizations. Competitors love them. We know ineffectual organizations by poor workgroup design, discouraged employees, ineffective delegation of responsibilities, weak communications, irrelevant leadership, and inappropriate enterprise systems.
"The organization of an organization reflects the organization of the people at the top."
Mel Conway
Effectiveness occurs at the individual, group, and organization levels as the optimal relationship among production, efficiency, satisfaction, adaptiveness, and development. Effectiveness is paradoxical. While individual effectiveness is task specific, and group effectiveness results from the sum of the contributions of all group members, organization effectiveness equals more than the sum of individual and group effectiveness. This is the paradox. It emerges through powerful synergistic effects that enable organizations to achieve levels of performance not possible through the simple sum of their parts.
