Diagnosing the health of organizations

Health Care Superv. 1994 Dec;13(2):21-33.

Abstract

The concept of a healthy organization is idealistic. Organizations are never fully stable, they never maximize their potential, and they never achieve complete harmony. It is a common myth that the leader determines an organization's health. It is how the psychodynamics of an organization are managed and the capacity of leaders and followers to repair broken relationships that influence an organization's health.
