1. Do you feel the 10 Commandments helps balance chaos and order in this world? Why or Why not? (support your answer with an example)
2. The account of biblical creation can be viewed as a model for innovative and creative leaders when managing chaos because it describes how one is capable of doing great things even when they are faced with many obstacles. Imaging there is a entrepreneur who wants to create his own business. He has to start from ground zero like Jesus did. He has to decide first what he is going to create and what he is going to call it. He then has to establish how the company will survive. For instance, where will it live? What will it need to survive? Then he will go even further to decide the small details all like Jesus did, one step at a time. The story of creation is a great way to think of innovation and leadership. All things are possible through faith and hard work.
3. Creation is the original innovation, it is when everything we know came to be and because of creation we now live in a world where innovation is constant. Biblical creation was the catalyst for all innovation, the past and future belong together including tradition and innovation. God began all living things out of nothing, therefore giving us the ability to innovate as well. During creation, God had a method and was very systematic and because of this, we have what we do today (Rowe, 2019). In terms of chaos, biblical creation shows how the chaos was not only managed but utilized to create something incredible. God managed chaos beautifully in order to create the world we live in today. When God was creating life, he did it in an organized way. This was how he manage chaos in order to create the world. In terms of chaos, staying organized and having a systematic approach is a great way to ensure everything stays managed.
4. I believe that when chaos is created and/or enabled individuals are able to be pushed out of their comfort zones and create, this can ultimately spark innovation. Also when there is a good amount of chaos present, there are many individuals that will feel an urgency to make things right or put things back into place, this healthy amount of chaos can spark excitement and passion into individuals. It is also important that when these times of chaos are made/enabled that as a leader (or someone within the organization) everyone understands what the ultimate goal is. The reason that this is important is because everyone as a team needs to have a clear understanding of what they are working towards and what key role they play in helping the organization to get there.
5. When there is order, that is just what it is, coming to work doing the same thing everyday, following the rules and having a basic day. With order, there isn't really any creative juices flowing, you know exactly how the day will be. When a leader throws a curve ball it allows for employees to get creative. For example, if there is a company that is doing fairly well, and all of a sudden they get bought out by another, that is a big change! It can have employees questioning their work ethic, their loyalty, and how good of an employee they are. It makes them start thinking of how they can impress the new company and keep their positions. Also, it allows leaders to do the same. They are able access their employees and give them new tasks to take on and give them a challenge. It is very important for leaders to share what their vision is with their team. The team must have something to follow and have a plan. Having that clear sense of purpose helps a team complete the appropriate tasks to lead to the ultimate goal. If a leader always has the answer then why is a team needed (Ron Edmondson, 2015). Leaders allow chaos and confusion to prevail because it causes new discoveries and allow alot of teamwork.
6. I am glad you said that chaos can create the best solutions. I do believe that. I think the word "chaos" is overwhelming itself. Of course when everyone thinks or sees this word it is considered negative immediately. In my line of work, there is frequent chaos, but there are also meeting after after meeting with every team member involved thinking of new ways to make things better and effective. Again, without chaos there would not be a need for growth or change.
