  • He Also Brings a Precon Ceived Notion of What the Group's History Hasbeen, I.E
    54 performing some duty or task. It is possible for several operational levels to be presentinone group, says Reid, so long as everyoneis aware of them. Cartwright and Zander identify two aspects of the goal formation process toward which grouptasks are aimed. One is the presence of individualgoals which are brought to the group. The other is the conversion of goals held 13 by members into a group goal. Each person brings to the group hisown motives; sometimes they are person-centered and sometimes group-centered. He also brings a precon ceived notion of what the group's history hasbeen, i.e.. past goals. And finally, he brings his perspective of the relations.between the group andits social surroundings. The literature contains little abouthow goals held by members can be converted into group goals. Cartwright and Zander hold that most groups fail to meet"fairnese criterion in forming goals. Such criterion assumes that all members have equal wei.ght in thedecision-making process. Four factors seem to be key elementsin whether or not a group member acceptsthe growp goal: (A) the member's assessment of thecOnsequences of his acceptance. (B) the member's perception of the goal andhis potential involvement with it. 13Cartwright and Zander,op. cit. ,p. 403. 58 55 (C) the members' attraction for one another. 14 (D) mutual participation in goal-setting. Work and Emotionality: Two Sides of the Coin Olmstead (1959),15Blake and Mouton,16andReddin17 have adopted Ca-Awright and Zander's classification of group task function - goal achievement and group maintenance. The literature indicates that goal-directed behavior as well as attention to the psy:lho-social needs of the group are task fkinctions and therefore influence leadership behaviors.

  • Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL REPORT FROM OUR BOARD CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT AND CEO aul Hawken once said, “no one thing can change by itself.” Everything is connected. In every community, housing, healthcare, Peducation, employment, the environment, and the economy are intricately linked. If you want to improve one area, you must improve all areas. This is why we are heavily invested in understanding the needs and resources of the greater community. The same connectivity is true for nonprofit organizations, the small but mighty force charged with tackling many of our greatest challenges. While they need strong programs, they also need solid, sustainable infrastructures. While they need effective and empowered leadership, they also need strategic partnerships and networks. The strength of one area determines the strength of the other areas. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This is why we are heavily invested in understanding the needs and resources of the nonprofit community. Everything is connected. No one thing can change by itself. For the past 29 years, we have been able to drive social change—strategically, purposefully, and continuously— by recognizing this connectivity, fostering partnerships and collaborations that transcend silos, and strategically deploying our resources to create a powerful chain reaction. This is what has fueled our growth and increased our “ALL IS CONNECTED… NO individual and collective impact in ONE THING CAN CHANGE BY the community. ITSELF.” – PAUL HAWKEN And, while it’s important to focus on “numbers” and the strategies behind them in an Annual Report, we must also recognize and celebrate the people who have helped us connect the dots.

    II The Ma r i t i m e Co n e c tio n s 15-15 0 81 0 Beyond 2 0 traditional borders Based on Thomas Lindblad, “Nederland en de Oostzee, 1600—1850” in “Goud uit Graan” The Mo ther Tra d e During the Golden Age, on the global trading scene, the supremacy of Holland and Amsterdam was inextricably linked to the Dutch merchants’ prominent position in the trade on the Baltic Sea through the Danish Sound. As far back as 1671, Johan de Witt referred to the trade in the Baltic Sea as the “Mother Trade”. Shortly before that the Ambassador of the States General in Denmark had written that he “had seen the keys of the Sound in Amsterdam”. Northern European imports, consisting mainly of grain, but also of other products such as timber and skins, were carried out in a routine fashion: year after year ships, often in large convoys, plied the waters between the Republic and the Baltic Sea. The trade did not catch people’s imagination as much as the large ships of the Dutch East India Company returning from Asia with their cargo of exotic goods. Nevertheless, the trade with the Baltic laid the foundation for the growing Dutch economy in the Golden Age. “O m m e l a n d v a a r t ” The “Ommelandvaart” (sailing around Denmark) already began in the 13th century and starting from the end of the 14th century, the Baltic trade became important for both Holland and Zeeland. During the heydays of the Hanseatic times in the 14th and 15th cen- turies a substantial part of the trade with the Baltic region was already executed by ships from Holland (see also the article by Brand on this early period).
