What is today’s philosophy associated with building strategic alliances throughout the entire organization? The purpose of this blog is to discuss the affects of strategic alliances throughout the various levels of the organization and the effect it has on the organization. How does the CEOs participation in the company’s bowling teams positively and negatively affect the organization?
For the purpose of this blog personal relationship is defined as the relationship between various levels of the organization on a social basis such as friendship or social functions. The definition does not include romantic relationships.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThis should be a very interesting blog, as I believe that successful leaders are skilled at building relationships, hence supporting strategic alliances and outcomes.
I believe, as in quantum physics that relationships are constant, building effective relationships that support strategic efforts are more likely to success (this excludes romantic relationships - smile).

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI think that the CEO bowling with the company socially would have a positive influence on those bowling with him. On the other hand, those who do not bowl may feel left out and neglected. This can lead to harboring ill feelings towards others and eventually lead to bad morale for some. I don't necessisarily agree with this, but it can happen. It can be quite a dilemna. It's a shame that people have to worry about all these effects when they are just trying to have a good time.
Congrats on getting the blog rolling! For some reason this topic always reminds me of "Hotlips Hoolihan" from a MASH TV episode crying about the nurses under her command. "You never even asked me if I wanted a lousy cup of coffee."
ReplyDeleteI believe that the CEO's participation would have positive influence on those bowling with him. After all this is a social event, employees may even view him as having a human side. Do you think a CEO should let their defenses down when socializing with employees?
