I am no Monk, nor any authority to claim knowledge about the Dharma.  But I do have a somewhat regular and contemplative mindfulness practice that helps me experience and understand life, as I observe phenomena within and without me.  So, here are a few reflections for your coffee time.  As you sip on your deliciously made aromatic coffee, tea or hot cocoa accept these thoughts for your reflection.

I have been conducting a survey to find a common language among various experts such as OD, OC and Six Sigma consultants and others to identify characteristics of an Emotionally Unhealthy Organization. In my view, success and result optimization is is highly dependent on people having Dependable Minds.

Different states of mind such as a mind that is clear or scattered, happy or in pain, secure or worried, frantic or calm, realistic or delusional, etc., definitely impacts the quality of work and results obtained. The same is also true for teams and the entire organization.

By Dr. Manijeh Motaghy, PsyD. O.C.

It is vital to understand and honor that organizations are operated by individuals. Best or worst ideas, formulas, strategies, 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 simply don't exist without people regardless of failing or succeeding. Greatest financial resources in the world combined is useless without people to implement! Some may say daa, but do they really get it?
