Abstract
This paper explores how the fundamental structure of organizations (Vision, Mission, Capacity, and Learning, or VMCL) can assist agile organizations with adaptive leadership. Through learning the four functions of the VMCL theory, this paper will also explore how organizations can utilize the ideas of complex adaptive systems, POSIWID, feedback and how structure drives behavior. Using a case study on the systematic failure of Wells Fargo, this paper will demonstrate a real-world example of applying VMCL to improve the systems within organizations.
