Organizations

This portion of the portfolio deals with the doctoral theme, Organizations. Most of us will function in some capacity within an organization in putting to use the learning we have received in cohort IX. There are many characteristics of organizations which we must deal with while serving in a leadership capacity. These characteristics make up the culture of an organization which must be dealt with by those serving as leaders in a specific institution.
