Welcome to Organizational Perspectives, a home for cross-disciplinary dialogue about human capital management. Improving an organization’s performance can be approached from a business, psychology, or education discipline.
A motivated, team-oriented, and creative workforce is a result of professionals from these three disciplines working together. Human resource professionals bring talent into organizations through hiring and promotion, training and performance improvement professionals develop talent to meet organizational needs, and organizational psychologists look at the effects that social and workplace contexts have on individuals and groups.

We're often told to think outside the box. But it's about time someone spoke up for the box.
Because, paradoxically, thinking inside a box can spark creativity, not squelch it.
So maybe you don't need to think out of the box.

Recently we were talking about what we mean by “the corporate model,” and whether a religious institution has a “bottom line.”
You know that a business is succeeding if it makes a profit, but money is not the object of a covenant community like ours.
How should we measure our success? This is a perennial question among church leaders.
Then someone said the words “social capital,” and a light bulb went on for me.
This organization, our First Unitarian Society, exists to create and multiply not financial capital, but social capital. The concept was popularized by Jane Jacobs in the 1960s, but its lineage goes back through philosopher John Dewey to a political scientist named L.J. Hanifan, who in 1916 defined it as:
“…that in life which tends to make tangible substances count for most in the daily lives of people, namely, goodwill, fellowship, mutual sympathy and social intercourse among a group of individuals and families who make up a social unit… If he may come into contact with his neighbor, and they with other neighbors, there will be an accumulation of social capital, which may immediately satisfy his social needs
and which may bear a social potentiality sufficient to the substantial improvement of living conditions in the whole community. The community as a whole will benefit by the cooperation of all its parts, while the individual will find in his associations the advantages of the help, the sympathy, and the fellowship of his neighbors.”
This is our bottom line; our profit, if you will. “Goodwill, fellowship, mutual sympathy and social intercourse among a group of individuals and families who make up a social unit” so that “the community as a whole will benefit by the cooperation of all its parts, while the individual finds help, sympathy, and the fellowship of their neighbors.” Social capital is generated both inwardly and outwardly—as we deepen connections
to one another within the FUS community, and when we model and advocate and reach out to create connections as an institution with our neighbors.
The more social capital a community has, the more resilient it is in the face of pressures and crises, and the more capable it is of caring for those in need. Isn’t this what we want to see our Society produce?
What can you do to help build the social capital of FUS, as a resource for our own fellow members, and as a contribution to the larger communities within which we exist? Think about it, and let me know.
Kendyl Gibbons, Senior Minister

Malaysia hopes to enhance its aviation relationship with China to include securing fifth freedom rights for Malaysian carriers, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy says. Datuk Chan, who has left for an eight-day working visit to China, said fifth freedom rights would allow the carriers to pick up passengers from transit points en route to the destination. We will explore the possibility of relaxing further our aviation arrangement with China which is already very open.
