Over the course of time, organizational leadership has developed different tactics on how to achieve success in an organization. According to Bacud (2020), principles play a vital role in every organization and the style of management by leaders. However, leadership in modern times depends heavily on principles in an organization to provide good order and discipline during an underachieved business.
In Narula’s (2020) research, a gentleman by the name of Henri Fayol, a French mining engineer, also known as the father of modern management, developed the Management Theory. Narula (2020) also pointed out that the management theory provides fourteen principles which will be discussed in this article later on both General System and Chaordic System Theory. Henceforth, the discussion will introduce the concepts of both theories and how the theories will affect an organization and leadership. According to Williams et al. (2017), General System Theory is comprised of important concepts which are communication mechanism, goal orientation, inputs, outputs, throughputs, and feedback. Discussing the purpose of each concept provides a better understanding of how the concepts work close together. The article will also display the great significance of discussion about innovation and system collaborations within a complex system to promote sustainability.
According to Durgan (2021), General System Thinking and Chaordic theory display a system that provides a profound development of professionalism in a team-building process in achieving an intended goal. However, Bhandari’s (2020), Chaordic Systems Theory, is a very dynamic and complex source with connections between variables that formulate a chaotic or orderly behavior. According to Akhtar et al. (2018), it is valuable for leaders in an organization to maintain the knowledge of a system to maintain effective leadership.
The information provided in this article will explore some importance of the Chaordic System and General System Theory. Durgan (2020), also points out that General System Theory provides information that a business may either be open or closed, to exchange material in their surroundings to thrive for success. Now, William et al. (2017) stated an open system may be peculiar with interactions with other businesses, which provides the input and output into different categories or boundaries. The interaction make-up is the inputs, which provide all it may get from the environment, and the output, which is released from the environment. Now, for instance, customers and suppliers form a different environment in a company, and the products that it produces can merge to form another type of system, according to Mazzolini et al. (2018). An example is parts from an environment and their mutual interactions result in the formation of one strong organization. Even though the parts of the system function independently collaborations bring innovations that form a sound and successful structural system. According to Padhi (2018), understanding how efficient a system is, does not necessarily entail an understanding of each part but shows a measure of the total input and the total output that leads to the realization of the organization’s developmental level.
Relation Components to Organizations
According to Bacud (2020), organizations are formed to achieve a specific goal. They form a structured hierarchy from bottom to top that within each level in the hierarchy maintain certain roles. In the higher levels of the hierarchy in an organization there is a more abstract and may encompass a view of a whole system which in the lower level, many parts interact.
Kotusev (2020) stated, that deviating from the outlined tasks and plans can jeopardize the goals because it becomes more complicated when employees are not working in harmony toward the achievement of the goals. The employees are assigned specific tasks and when summed up, it fulfill the purpose for the organization.
A large organization of employees grouped into departments with each assigned specific roles must carry out their assignments. Once they leave the environment they are no longer allowed to transact on behalf of the company. Services provided by the employees make up the input. Their workstations and colleagues in departments make up a subsystem.
Developing of Chaordic System Theory
Chaordic development is described as a dynamic process that passes from a single attractor to another in a long and tiring journey toward the end of chaos. Narula (2020) mentions the Chaordic System is a dynamic and complex order of connections between parts that form the entire system and influence either chaotic or orderly behavior. Chaordic System Theory provides a way to recognize and understand the forces that underlie the structures that model the performance of an organization over the course of time. A better understanding of Chaordic System Theory is an organization needs to be recognized as a continuum activity not as a fixed structure. According to Robert et al. (2017), the theory provides a newer concept that may be utilized to improve the understanding of the uncontrollably, complexity, and uncertainty in an organization through learning. However, Chaordic System Theory may be known for a life cycle, the lifecycle takes the systems through successive periods of relative instability and stability
Achieving Sustainability within Organizations
Now, consciousness, connectivity, and indeterminacy as some properties that guide Chaordic leaders. Consciousness directs Chaordic leaders to think more than do because the theory puts ideas first. The leaders also stimulate generative learning by taking all thoughts seriously, regardless of how the thoughts may be. The connectivity property of the Chaordic system helps leaders to consider organizations as autonomous entities concerning one aspect and dependent on another aspect. The leaders try to find out the connections between parts by encouraging informal dialogues among subjects. Zhang (2020) stated that connection helps leaders to foster shared meaning and understanding and Hossain (2020) mentioned that indeterminacy property helps leaders in an organization to know each event has both a cause and an effect. Using the property, leaders use plans for setting priorities rather than controlling the future because it is unknown beforehand. Incorporation of the properties in leadership promotes the sustainability of organizations.
Conclusion
According to Narula (2020), a French engineer by the name of Henri Fayol known as the Father of Management Theory has developed fourteen principles in management which displays how the fourteen principles are utilized in both General System Thinking and Chaordic System Theory. General System components are made up of input, throughput, and output. They are synchronized in their operation. Output can only be realized if there is an input. Input includes the services and raw materials that are processed to come up with a product. Zhang (2020) throughput is the set of activities or processes that transform inputs into outputs. Chaordic system development is a dynamic process that passes from a single attractor to another in a long and tiring journey toward the end of chaos. Chaordic System Theory is composed of properties such as consciousness, connectivity, and indeterminacy. Chaordic organizations through leaders, incorporate such properties to ensure the sustainability of the organization.
