Courage, Compassion, and Resilience Make Great Workplaces

Most of what is taught in business schools and executive development programs, though certainly relevant, does not contribute significantly to the creation of workplaces that enable human beings to flourish and engage meaningfully in the success of their organizations. 

With the massive and endlessly growing provision of advice and guidance and education on how to run successful and/or effective organizations, the question remains: “Why haven’t we become better at it”? With so many companies struggling to survive, let alone thrive, in the always on, 24/7, inter-connected world we live in, and with ill-health, obesity and stress levels growing at an alarming rate, one can only ask: 

• Is there something missing in the way we design and run organizations? 
• Why do so many people feel disengaged? 
• Why do so many feel overwhelmed by the constant and unrelenting pressures they experience in the workplace and by extension to their lives as a whole?
