On How Work is Organized

By Rainbow

I have been working in a trade company before. I think it is well organized. There are different departments responsible for different businesses such as human resources department, merchandize department, shipping department, QC department,etc. Every department cooperates and coordinates with each other for the management of the whole company. Every department is responsible for their own job. Every department is divided into smaller teams and every team has a manager.The manager assign tasks to subordinates. The team members do their jobs individually or by two or three together. The subordinates should write reports on how the jobs are done. The managers will give instructions and strategies on how to deal the problems emerging in the process. I think the shared vision theory fits very well here.

This collective discipline establishes a focus on mutual purpose. People with a common purpose can learn to nourish a sense of commitment in a group or organization by developing shared images of the future they seek to create and the principles and guiding practices by which they hope to get there. A school or community that hopes to live by learning needs a common shared vision process. As the job is done team-based, so they share a focus on mutual purpose. They must work hard and together to reach the goal of the whole team.

I think systems thinking is very important in both working and learning. If the job is done as a team, so with the joint efforts there will be growth and stability. The job is to be carried out like a learning process and people will learn from each other and deepen the professional knowledge and implementation of the current job. It is also a kind of constructive learning.
