3. In the school where you are currently enrolled, what is the prevailing organizational
culture? What are some of the practices/ rituals that you deserve?
"Building a strong sense of community in schools is both important and doable," says
Eric Schaps. And as Thomas Sergiovanni writes in Building Community in Schools, "In
communities, we become connected for reason of commitment rather than
compliance" (p.58). Sergiovanni believes the connectedness is motivated by our
essential human need "for a sense of belonging, of being connected to others."
OK, great. So how do we, as educational leaders, get that buy-in, that commitment to
create a strong sense of community within our district, school, or classroom? This post
will illustrate the connection between culture, climate, and community, and will provide
examples of ways that school and classroom leaders have built a sense of community
through the use of routines.
TASK 4. Mission, Vision and Values. Instruction. Presume that you are going to put your own
organization. Decide on the nature and the objective/s of the organization you wish to establish.
Draft your vision and mission statements but access first the website below and view it so you
will be properly guided:

After viewing the clip, you are now ready to draft your own mission-vision statements.
Remember that a mission statement is a statement communicating the purpose of the
organization. It states the following points:
Successful employees meet deadlines, make sales and build the brand via positive
customer interactions. When employees do not perform effectively, consumers feel that the
company is apathetic to their needs, and will seek help elsewhere. Employees who perform
effectively get things done properly the first time.
Respect, trust, positive social interaction, opportunities to contribute, and purposeful work
are all part of a solid foundation for employees expect employers to provide in their
workplaces. It's a great place to build from, and to build truly magnificent culture.
The foundation of every great team is a direction that energizes, orients, and engages its
members. Teams cannot be inspired if they don’t know what they’re working toward and
don’t have explicit goals. Additionally, high-performing teams include members with a
balance of skills.
According to Martine Haas and Mark Mortensen, every individual doesn’t have to possess
excellent technical and social skills, but the team overall needs a healthy dose of both.
This will allow the team to sing from the same hymn book while keeping everyone inspired
and motivated to achieve their goals and objectives.
On the other hand, remember too that a vision statement states an aspiration and focuses on
something that you want to be in the future. It states the high-level goals of the organization
which coincide with the owner’s/founder’s objectives.
A mission statement communicates the organization’s reason for being, and how it aims to
serve its key stakeholders. Customers, employees, and investors are the stakeholders most
often emphasized, but other stakeholders like government or communities (i.e., in the form of
social or environmental impact) can also be discussed. Mission statements are often longer
than vision statements. Sometimes mission statements also include a summation of the firm’s
values. Values are the beliefs of an individual or group, and in this case the organization, in
which they are emotionally invested. III. Now that you have your own mission-vision
statements, identify at least (3) powerful core values that will serve as the organization’s
guiding principles. Explain what each means and why you have chosen them. Remember that
these core values should help you fulfil your business goals which should also be imbibed by
your employees.
1. Integrity And Ethics: Simply put, the two principles of integrity and ethics translate into doing
the right thing, in an honest, fair, and responsible way. Building your entire business on the
foundation of honesty and integrity goes a long way toward building a strong, trusting
relationship with your employees, stakeholders, and customers.
Truthful conduct on everyone's part can create a strong, credible reputation for the company in
the market, which is beneficial for everyone's interests.
Respecting all employees means respecting their individual human rights and privacy, and
eliminating all kinds and forms of discrimination, whether based on religion, belief, race,
ethnicity, nationality, gender, or physical disability. Moreover, ensuring a safe and healthy work
environment for all employees is an important part of giving respect to them.
Many organizations across the globe adopt an attitude whereby the entire company interacts
together like a close-knit family. Such an atmosphere helps boost the confidence of employees
and makes them feel like an important, even indispensable, part of the organization. This
inspires feelings of commitment and a drive to do even better.
3. Innovation (Not Imitation): Companies that focus on being ahead of their competitors and
introducing new ideas in the marketplace follow the principle of "innovation, not imitation." This
is crucial if a company wants to be a trendsetter and introduce new products that consumers
appreciate.
Employees in such companies are encouraged to be dynamic and come up with innovative
ideas that can translate into successful products for the company. Constantly imitating others
won't take the business far.
ASSIGNMENTS: Instructions: Recall the first time you engaged in a public oral presentation.
What were the different factors that you considered at that time? Relate how challenging it was
for you especially when viewed by different kinds of audiences. Write your experiences in a
sheet a paper and be ready to share this to your classmates in the following day.
I started speaking, looking towards everyone. Ans as I said, we were in the main part
of the city, there will be obviously many local people, other than school students and
teachers.
I completed delivering my speech and a huge round of applause and shots and
slogans started.
