 Sagkeeng CFS Structure Decision and Design The functional structure is a type of organizational structure that groups employees according to the functions or tasks they perform. I find that this structure would be best suited for Sagkeeng CFS and it may be an ideal organizational structure for several reasons. Legally, Sagkeeng CFS is required to organize apprehension-capable workers together, as they are the only workers legally able to investigate for possible apprehension. Also, because funding constraints and budget cuts could present a significant impact, a functional structure would promote better efficiency and cost-effectiveness by reducing duplicate efforts and promoting specialization. Lastly, a functional structure best supports organizational tasks because it allows for clear lines of communication and decision-making. Based on these external and internal environmental factors, a functional structure may be an ideal organizational structure for a child welfare agency...

  Sagkeeng CFS      Hello, the organization I chose to complete this Personal Learning Cloud on Organization Structures is Sagkeeng Child and Family Services (Sagkeeng CFS). Sagkeeng CFS is a child and family services agency mandated by the provincial government to child welfare services and family enhancement programming. Sagkeeng CFS delivers service directly to members of the Sagkeeng First Nation, exclusively. It is one of 10 child and family services agencies that are provincially mandated in Southern Manitoba. I am familiar with this organization because I come from Sagkeeng First Nation and have worked for Sagkeeng CFS.  External Environmental Factors: Political: In a political context, Sagkeeng CFS is very interesting because it has funding agreements with both the provincial and federal government – meaning funding allocations depend on the respective provincial and government bodies. Although, Sagkeeng CFS jurisdiction falls under provincial child we...

           As a former elected leader in southern Manitoba, I always believed that leadership is not about being in charge but serving those who have trusted you with their assets and future. As a leader, I feel that I have been committed to creating a positive impact in my community, fostering innovation, and creating economic and social development for my community.      One of my beliefs is that a leader's responsibility is to serve their community/organization. In my eyes, this means actively seeking out opportunities to make a difference, whether it is through writing proposals and grant applications to expand capacity, advocating for charitable causes, expanding organizational networks and partnerships, or participating in community-led events. It’s very important to recognize the investment of time and resources into the betterment of employees and the general community as a leader.      Moreover, introducing and we...

  Three Leaders Who Inspire Me National Chief Phil Fontaine      Phil Fontaine is a former National Chief for the Assembly of First Nations and advocates for indigenous issues across Canada. He negotiated the historic $5.6 billion Indian residential school settlement and has bridged historic communication gaps between indigenous people and the Canadian government. Chief Fontaine comes from my home community of Sagkeeng First Nation, where he also served as Chief in the 1980s. He is a residential school survivor and member of Sagkeeng Oldtimers recognized in the Hockey Hall of Fame.       Phil is known for being calm and solution-oriented in his decision-making and team efforts. I think the epitome and highlight of his work are gaining an apology from the Pope of the Catholic Church for their role in Indian residential schools. To have achieved this, his beliefs seem to have always been grounded in understanding the past and how to move forward fro...
