Description

Institutions matter. They give us a chance to have an influence for the common good that far outlasts us. But we regularly assume that institutions are at cross-purposes with dynamic communities, with personal vocational calling, and with core human values. We view them reasonably cynically as, perhaps, a necessary evil. Institutions, far from that, remain essential to human flourishing. They’re the very means by which communities thrive, individual vocations are fulfilled, and society is changed for the good. Consequently, we all want to learn to work effectively within institutions. That may be just what Gordon Smith provides. He unpacks the core of institutional intelligence―the wisdom of working effectively within an organization. At the same time, he shows how team leaders, directors, executives, board members, key stakeholders, and employees can keep away from what is regularly their greatest source of stress on the job―working with the institutional character of their organizations. That specialize in the non-profit sector, Smith unlocks the essential elements of how institutions function in a productive, healthy manner. Church staff, educators, and those in service agencies can all thrive by understanding these dynamics instead of fighting against them. By developing this essential vocational capacity, we and those around us can not only fulfill ourselves but also a mission That may be larger than we are.
