The collapse of the old business culture continues with consequences that have hit hard. In such dire times, as we scramble to find a way forward that offers certainty and security, we witness organizations masquerading with a new image while essentially maintaining the status quo. This will not work. There are new players in the arena of business. Culture and consciousness are powerful new partners that will decide sustainability and profitability in an emerging new paradigm. We are rewriting the books and re-educating ourselves on what a thriving, high-performing environment looks like. We are transforming the hearts and minds of leaders to generate a new mindset in business that will see us using the right tools and the right values for prosperity and universal well-being. This book tells you how.
I don’t live in the corporate world. I “infiltrate” it regularly and work often in it’s shadowy corners engaging with the seedier underworld of lower conscious, less integrated behaviors. Just as the cities and communities about us have an underbelly, so too does the corporate entity. For the most part it manages to stay unaddressed, partially if not wholly disguised and in many cases actually supported and kept in place by the presiding authority.
To live in the corporate world means to have its value system, its measurements system and its lens of scrutiny, dictate and define your sense of self, your lens of experience and reality. I prefer measured boundaries of engagement and exposure. I prefer to potently interact with its consciousness in order to transform and evolve its complexity and then retreat. I prefer to hold fast to the steady, true core of my individuated value system and when called, to enter its shadows, work the alchemy and quietly move away.
I see most of the people within this system day after day, struggle with these very issues. They strive to hold to their personal truths and values whilst having to function within an entity that opposes them.
