The service oriented organization

The culture of a green service oriented organization

In a Green organization culture people strive for equality and harmony. The essence of green is: “Life is meant to live every moment. We can all understand who we are and how wonderful it is to be human if we only accept that everyone is equal and important. Everyone must be able to share in the pleasure of living together. Every person is connected to others in the group, every soul travels together. The group grows when bringing together all life forms. Bad behavior and negative beliefs disappear when we look into the person and experience the richness of that person. Peace and love for everyone.

How do you recognize a green organization?

• The leader is not clearly recognizable in terms of clothing or status, but is absorbed in the group
• There is a harmonious atmosphere of peace and tranquility
• The work is organization-oriented, people consult a lot and share ideas and feelings
• The leader serves the group and takes care of his / her people
• Employees divide roles in consultation, people bring in a lot of knowledge and information
• Decisions are only taken after everyone has been heard, consultation can take a long time, but if consensus is reached, everyone is 100% ahead of it
• There is little to no competition, there is enough room for everyone to give their input and add value
• There is a high tolerance for people who think differently, diversity is encouraged
• The ubiquitous presence of empathy ensures a high customer focus, excellent care, an urge for sustainability and social responsibility

The most important characteristic of a people-driven organizational culture is that the values of the organization are decisive for the cooperation in the organization. In the organization values, the supervisor consults and supports the employee from the agreed 43 values in realizing his goals. The organization is managed from trust and the values of the organization are the binding factor that ensure that the organization can grow even faster because everyone has freedom and can take on responsibilities.

Leadership in a green service oriented organization

For the average manager, the values of culture are often the hardest to get used to because he is used to having the last word from his role. That does not work in a green organization. The values of the manager must show useful leadership and the employee himself can indicate which personal development and results he wants and can achieve. To facilitate this, behavioral characteristics are developed per core values. With this, everyone knows exactly which behavior is desired to realize the agreed goals. This gives a lot of clarity to each other and the customers in the organization.

The great advantage of working with values in relation to competencies is that the core values of the organization can be linked to the core values of the people. This allows the energy of all employees to be focused on the realization of the strategy and the growth of the company. Employees can take more responsibility in this culture and they can also implement their own ideas in the organization much more. People now know very clearly what results they have to achieve and with what behavior they are allowed to do this.

A green leader is a group leader that says:

• Discover your inner strength and that of others
• Go for collaboration and the development of a group of people
• Divide the resources of the community with everyone
• Liberate people from their dogmas and avarice
• Make decisions by realizing consensus
• Develop your spirituality and harmony with others

The structure of a green organization

A typical green organization is organized as a Round Table. In a circle of people, subjects and personal experiences are shared and dialogue is worked towards consensus. The leader is equal to his fellow colleagues.

The role of moderator can rotate or work with a so-called stick, the person who has been allowed to talk the stick, listen to the other attendees and reflect on what is being said. A rebuttal or a different opinion is only allowed when the stick comes into its own possession. The pace of the conversation is therefore often 45 low, there is no heated discussion like an orange organization.

Personal development is encouraged and the prevailing idea is that everyone has the moral obligation to fully develop his potential and to achieve Maslow’s self-updating stage.
