At the core, there is one simple, overarching reason why so many people remain unsatisfied in their work and why most organisations fail to draw out the greatest talent, ingenuity, and creativity of their people and never become truly great, enduring organisations. It stems from an incomplete paradigm of who we are - our fundamental view of human nature. The fundamental reality is, human beings are not things needing to be motivated and controlled; they are four-dimensional - body, mind, heart, and spirit.

Sometimes poor behavior is simply bad execution of good intent.

Only as we keep an open communication with our deep inner life will we have the wisdom to make effective choices.

Efficient management without effective leadership is, as one individual phrased, it, "like straightening deck chairs on the Titanic".

None of us see the world as it is but as we are, as our frames of reference, or maps, define the territory.

An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.

Creating and integrating an empowering personal mission statement is one of the most important investments we can make.
