Message to Leaders
Greetings,
Do you want to empower, evoke purpose and be of service to your clients and employees, your organization and the world at large? As a leader you are not only responsible for the overall health, profit and social ethics of your business but also for the growth and well-being of your people. The corporate culture you create is your legacy.
Today’s fast-paced work environment, with challenges like new technology, mergers and acquisitions, globalization and environmental concerns create intense pressure that can negatively impact both employees and leaders. The symptoms of these rapid changes on individuals can show up as diminished passion and respect, internal conflicts, burnout and job discontent. Unclear company vision and transparency in leadership can drown the joy of teamwork and company morale. Alarmingly high percentage of people in the corporate world would rather want to be doing something else.
If these kind of issues are not addressed at the source, they can ultimately lead to the defeat of your organization. We have all seen too many recent examples of companies facing corporate scandals, bankruptcy and downfalls at the expense of innocent shareholders and loyal employees.
We believe that the underlying cause of this turmoil is our disconnection from life due to extreme focus on the external world – actions, deadlines, results -- to the exclusion of all else. In times of stress and escalated change, your natural instinct may be to let go of personal care and reflective time in order to keep up. You may even encourage your employees to do the same.
The paradox is that that is the opposite of what is needed. When you see that the flow of innovative ideas and productivity in your organization is stifled, that is when you, and all the members of your organization most need to slow down and step into a reflective time and space to understand that you are an integral part of a much larger whole. Then you can enter into a more intimate relationship with your own life and that of your organization. It is no longer enough to do business as usual.
Those leaders who will thrive in this modern era are the ones who are able to tap into these deeper wells. They understand that when we are deeply connected to ourselves, to others and to something beyond that, we are connected to life. That life then expresses itself in the vibrant health of the organization and in the creative spirit of all its employees.
When you as a leader experience this connection, you can lead the members of your organization to the thrill of touching their humanity. In so doing, they will also become powerful channels for inspiration, purpose and service rippling out to the rest of the world. Your robust organizational culture will draw the best talent and enjoy the highest success. Values will be aligned to the company vision and any new challenges you face will be overcome with teamwork of the highest caliber.
We offer learning and development programs supporting leaders and employees reconnecting to themselves, others, the organization and to Life itself.
Warmly,
RUNA BOUIUS
