Question

Consider an organization where you now work (or where you have worked). What model (paradigm) of organizational behavior does (did) your supervisor follow? Is (was) it the same as top management‟s model.

Answer 1

No. Most successful enterprises follow Greenleaf's model of organization and communication, in which the leader is a facilatator/motivator/servant to and for individuals in the group which are to get results both as a team, and as individulas. Many organizations, at the top, are organized as a vertical organization with a "boss", and "employees". Only below that do they function in Greenleaf's Servant model.
