Organizational Constellations

Organizational constellation i.e. the constellations for companies and organizations derive from the
same source as Bert’s Hellinger family constellation.

When doesn’t the constellation work any more?
1. The constellation will not relieve you of the responsibility that must be assumed. Each step in
your professional development requires you to deal with certain circumstances and leave
things behind.
2. Sometimes the organizational doesn’t have the strength for the change and then we shouldn't
make the constellation for them.
3. It is important to ask, if the constellation will strengthen the company or make it weaker
4. Constellation allow to see the subject from the other point of view but the responsibility for the
benefits from the knowledge are on the clients side.

In the professional work clear organizational structure is needed, so that different departments of the
organization don’t disturb themselves and can function well. In the clear structure of organization
each person knows, where they belong and what they are responsible for. Each person is focused
on their work. Clear structure of organization allows to make easy decisions.

In an organization, a balance between taking and giving is important. If an employee gives little
or takes little, his/her contact with the organization weakens. Every person in the company should
be acknowledged. The important aspect is whether the company itself has a good balance between
taking and giving and the environment in which it exists. Social anxiety destroys the comfort of
work.

People, who have influenced the history of the organization should have their own place in the
hierarchy. Such people are like the roots of the organization. If people important for the
organization are not respected fairly, the third generation of the employees will feel the same
symptoms as them.
