Enhance
Teamwork, Unity and Improvements
With Organization Development For Your Firm
 For your organization to achieve peak
performance, it needs to operate as a smoothly functioning system. And
that’s always a challenge where people are concerned, because people are all
different and like to do things their way.Organization development is the
process of building unity and enhancing teamwork, so the diverse people function as
one united whole, one team, dedicated to continuous improvement. Lawrimore’s
organization development services include:
- Personality assessments using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
and other scientifically verified tools to help understand each person’s
unique style of thinking, feeling and acting. The more people’s work roles
fit their personality type, the more effective they will be. These tools
are also very valuable in the hiring process, giving you insight into
important factors which are not observable in a typical interview.
- Enhancing teamwork is a natural extension of personality
assessments. Mutual understanding and valuing of differences is important
for an effective work team, just as it is for a sports team. Team spirit
emerges from shared values and purposes which allow each person to
contribute based on his or her strengths.
- Organization design involves restructuring positions, powers
and responsibilities for improved functionality and flexibility. Many
business, government and nonprofit organizations are saddled with
organization designs created for previous centuries. Greater flexibility
is needed for the fast-paced 21st Century, and evolution rather
than revolution allows smoother, more enduring transitions.
- Leadership development involves helping each person understand
his or her unique personality characteristics and strengths, the
difference between managing and leading, and practices needed to lead the
organization successfully into the future.
- Values clarification can be a powerful unifying process for
organizations experiencing conflict. Often a lack of mutual understanding
or different personal values drive conflicts. When they are made more
explicit, differences can be understood and greater harmony achieved.
- Total success management, combining business and personal
success, explained in detail at our other website, TotalSuccessCenter.com.

An organization is a system of people and
relationships. For the most effective improvement process, both a system
perspective and a people-relationship perspective are needed. One is
more "head," the other more "heart." But when they are combined, the
results can be not only powerful but also enjoyable for all
participants. Contact Lawrimore today using our
