Building a Healthy System
Overview/Description
Is it possible to make an organizational system healthier? What does a healthy system consist of? Every person in an organization is part of a system. By examining the beliefs and assumptions of all team members, as well as their personal visions, you'll discover the most profound leverage of the entire system. Change a belief, and you change an entire system. Combine that with a common vision, and you have the makings of a healthy system. This course will take you through four areas of focus that will encourage you to take a closer look at your systems and redesign them to create the healthiest system possible.
