Does your company have a mission or a vision?
Having a vision of where you are going is very different from a goal or even a mission statement. Goals and even mission statements are often limiting, in part because they tend to keep things the way they have always been. By pushing the past forward, by defining the future ideals and growth of a company based on past experiences and biases, they can leave very little room for real growth and change, and that becomes even more of a problem in challenging economies.

Beyond the Mission Statement
Often higher management makes a great deal about the mission statement. It often sounds good, it gives a target to shoot for and, it gives management a sense of accomplishment in creating the statement itself. However, often it is floated down as a fait accompli, an accomplished fact and a new prayer that must be sung by the common employees of the company. The problem with the mission statement is that . . . (more)
The Currency of Trust
In a very real way, the currency in the interchange of people and companies is Trust. We can see this clearly in the financial situation which developed in banking in these last few years. It was always the popular trust in the dollar and in the banking system that underwrote everything else. When that trust decreased, the financial system faced peril. Underlying trust . . . (more)
The High Cost of Losing Integrity
The Integrity of a company, or any living system, relates to how that system maintains itself dynamically from within. These days, there are enormous pressures to adapt and to conform, and sometimes succumbing to these pressures is erroneously interpreted as being in step with the market or as responding to market needs.

Not Minding Your Business
A North American native medicine man once told me this story:
One
day a man was walking through the forest feeling very good. He felt the
need to share that good feeling and perform positive gestures for
others. As he was passing a large rock, he noticed that around its edge,
a small tree seemed to be struggling, and so, the man decided that here
was something significantly good that he could do. With all of his
strength, he flipped the rock out of the way of the small tree. With
pride, he looked down at the cleared ground and was shocked to notice
that he had totally disrupted the lives of all of the small animals and
creatures that had built their homes under that rock.
The Corporate Midlife Crisis
In his ground breaking book, The Living Company, Arie de Geus points out that the average corporation does not survive its 40's. Why does this happen? In many ways the same dynamics that correspond to the infamous mid-life crisis, that occur in the first half of the 40's also affect corporations. The timing and the sequence is remarkably similar.

When Growth Can Kill
It may seem fairly obvious that the cause of the demise of most companies is that they ran out of cash flow. It is the equivalent of running out of blood and going into shock at the personal level. The cause of that demise, that running out of funds may appear to be a loss in revenue, unexpected market trends or even bad luck, but in reality, more often than not, it was because it was preceded with overexpansion, with unrealistic optimism or of hoping that the future would save the company out of the mess of the present.

The Lessons of Waves and Quantum Physics
For several centuries, western culture and business has embraced the idea that the universe is causal and linear: cause and effect. You run an ad campaign and you expect certain results. The pool of potential customers is a fairly known quantity and with the right sampling and manipulation, the profits can be determined. (more)
Freeing the Toxic Handlers
It has been over a decade since the concept of the toxic handler has been researched and written about, and yet it still remains a major problem that corporations and companies of all sizes need to deal with and often ignore to their detriment. The toxic handler is someone in an organization that puts themselves out to help the people around them. They often do double duty, (more)
