From Organic to Organizational

We explore the evolution of the term "organization" from "organ" and highlights the reversal in understanding from human body functions to structured social systems. Despite advancements in understanding social systems, organizations still adhere to traditional order. Real-world examples show that embracing "bounded freedom" enhances adaptability and innovation, challenging the illusion of control and predictability. The text argues for leadership to navigate complexity by balancing order and freedom, encouraging organizations to relinquish rigid control for more dynamic, organic development. This perspective emphasizes that freedom doesn't equate to chaos, advocating for a flexible approach to organizational growth.
