Enabling Environment

I wish to express my views about the fact that an 'enabling environment' brings out the best in people. I was discussing this in the context of a leading school with my sister.
She was telling me of this school which has a primary wing, a junior school from the IInd to the VIst standard and the senior wing.
The primary wing comes across as one full of fun where, the teachers despite having to work even at home to complete the school tasks are ever ready to take on new projects. They have great team work and understanding amongst themselves. Playing the blame game is not known to them.
The management felt that the 'life' which was there in the primary section was missing in the junior wing. The teachers were not 'charged' enough. So one teacher was shifted to the junior wing from the primary.
Now this lady who was a 'livewire' in the primary, has become 'earthed' in the junior school. She has lost that sense of 'joi de vivre', which was her forte. The management is now contemplating shifting a couple of teachers from the primary wing to junior school to achieve critical mass for enforcing a change.
I was sharing with my sister that it is the 'enabling environment' provided in the primary section which has led to teachers taking ownership of various aspects of school activities and driving them. While their boss drives them hard, they are free to vent their disagreements and it is taken in the right spirit and the boss also joins in the fun & banter. The teachers enjoy their work. The students don't want to miss school.
The atmosphere in the junior school appeared to be stifling. And hence over a period of time the spark had disappeared. The teachers were shy of taking ownership.
In my opinion, the management would do well to understand what makes the primary section 'tick'. Was it only the teachers or their head also. Or was it the fun environment/culture that had been created over a period of time. Or, was there a case for identifying the distinctive attributes required in a teacher for each level of classes and building a team accordingly.
To my mind, in any organisation, unless there is transfer of ownership, the organisation cannot flourish. It has to provide an 'enabling environment' to bring out the best in each employee.

Even roses can be grown in the deserts but the soil has to be prepared right alongwith climate control. We have also tigers breeding in the zoo. The jury is still out on whether it is a success or a failure.
