It is vital to understand and honor that organizations are operated by individuals. Best or worst ideas, formulas, strategies, procedures, training, teaching, consulting, manufacturing, managing, and laws & rules are developed by people. Best or worst of the same are also conducted and implemented by people. Organizations simply don't exist without people regardless of failing or succeeding. Greatest financial resources in the world combined is useless without people to implement! Some may say daa, but do they really get it?

We also know that success depends on commitment, ability to understand & perform and the ability to account for; a well balanced emotional state.

In my 25 years of business / organizational experience and educational training, I have yet to see true success when people involved in any organization are not emotionally healthy.  Even though, manic people for example, can achieve great results, sustaining such results become very difficult.   Even though, knowledge and expertise prove to be essential in any type of sustainable growth, emotional balance is required to utilize such knowledge and expertise in ways that can produce measurable results.  Even though, great financial resources can do wonders, greed and delusion can destroy it all. Perfect example of this is what the global society is facing during these tough economic times.......

Unfortunately, I still hear about organizations who resort to the same strategies and ways of doing things as before, as if there is no understanding of what Accountability really means!

Isn't it time leaders made it their most important top priority to pause and take the pulse of their entity and created emotionally healthy organizations?

Interested to know both managers' and employees' perspectives.
