July 1, 2015 - PRLog -- By understanding the mental, emotional, and environmental forces that shape their organizations, leaders can make better business choices. In The Enlightened Organization, Catherine Berney taps into her organizational psychology expertise to help leaders overcome the personal and systemic issues that inhibit their creativity and reclaim their own purpose, passion, and potency. Berney demonstrates how leaders can create an enlightened organization, where people are invested in its purpose, by focusing equally on the organization's interpersonal components as well as the system and context it operates within.

In order to build an enlightened culture that employees are invested in, leaders of organizations must consider the following concepts:

*The world is becoming increasingly complex. To thrive in the new reality of constant change and complexity, organizations must enhance their awareness of employees, operations, and the environment they function within.

*Self-awareness is essential to leadership. Leaders must learn to pay attention to their experiences in the present moment in order to understand their own, and others', emotions and behaviors.

*Purpose is a lodestar. By identifying their purpose in work and developing insight into their core strengths, both individuals and collaborative groups can improve their abilities to be open, flexible, and ready to take action.

*Leaders must see organizations as systems. To improve operations, a leader must pay balanced attention to the four main components comprising an organization's system: self, skills, culture, and environment.

*Context should influence an organization's purpose. The operating environment an organization functions within makes certain social, technological, and ecological demands that the organization must respond to in order to succeed.

*Corporate governance must take a two-pronged approach. Any governance group should focus equally on an organization's personal and interpersonal components as well as its systems and context.
