1.  Steward Organizational Culture

Change

Continue to work with the Town Manager to develop a style and system of leadership that will ensure the effective provision of services, while supporting the delivery of Council goals and objectives.[Roger Stancil Document, Council Retreat 2007].

Assumptions

Manager & Staff Identified Assumptions:

• The organizational change is outlined in the Manager’s Roadmap for Organizational Realignment [Roger Stancil, June 2007].
• The organizational change is supported by a commonly held set of values that drive our mission, objectives and decision-making.  The Senior Management Team has identified these values as Ethics, Social Equity, Professionalism, Respect, Innovation and Teamwork [TOWNtalk, December 2007].
• The Town will provide resources (e.g., Facilitative Leadership Training, continuing education, etc.) necessary to allow for employee transition into a new organizational culture and structure [Staff].
• Once the Strategic Plan is adopted, this guiding document will be made readily available to all Town employees, whereby individual staff members will be able to understand their role in the Plan as it relates to the organizational culture change [Staff].
