The Enlightened Organization

The Enlightened Organization is concerned with the organization and its responsibility for enabling success by putting in place processes (including leadership and communication) that will enable it to thrive and grow. More specifically, it addresses the role the individual leader can play in building an enlightened organization, providing specific tools and techniques that executives can use to see more clearly into the heart of what matters in any given business situation; to learn to use their values, passions and beliefs as a powerful resource in the workplace; and to create authentic dialogue within the organization. Author Catherine Berney is an expert in organizational psychology: she draws upon this background to explore the business context of complexity and change and to present the models that can help organizations respond proactively in the current operating environment. "I like this book. Catherine Berney is a wise and practical companion on the leader's journey. She speaks with equal sense about the individual, about courageous conversations between colleagues, about groups and systems, risks and solutions. This book is built on good theory and will stimulate good practice." Mark Goyder, Founder Director, Tomorrow's Company "Although the title says it all, the full understanding of what the author sets forth for us about this new working dynamic and why we seriously need to grasp these concepts became more and more clear with every 'enlightening' chapter." Carol Vahey, Global Consultant, Head of Talent Development for one of the top global fund management companies "This book is an essential read for business leaders operating in an increasingly demanding and complicated world. With traditional management strategies less and less relevant, The Enlightened Organization provides a set of simple tools to help us navigate this new environment with skill and ease." Mary Heaney, Director, Futurelex and The Global Legal Post
