Creating Emotionally Healthy Organizations

It is vital to understand and honor that organizations are operated by individuals.  Best or worst ideas, formulas, procedures, training, teaching, consulting, manufacturing, managing, and laws & rules are developed by people.  Best or worst of the same are also conducted and implemented by people.  Organizations don't exist without people and in order for an organization to succeed or fail it takes people.  Even all the money and financial resources in the world combined won't have any value without people to implement.  We also know that success of any organization depends on its people's commitment, ability to understand, ability to account for, and a well balanced emotional state.  

In my 25 years of business / organizational experience and educational training, I have yet to see true success when people involved in any organization are not emotionally healthy.  Even though, manic people for example, can achieve great results, sustaining such results become very difficult.  Even though, knowledge and expertise prove to be essential in any type of sustainable growth, emotional balance is required to utilize such knowledge and expertise in ways that can produce measurable results.  Even though, great financial resources can do wonders, greed and delusion can destroy it all.  Perfect example of this is what the global society is facing during these tough economic times....... (more to come)

Isn't it time to tend to the one most important and top priority, our people, and create emotionally healthy organizations?
