Most people are aware of negative factors and impediments to their success and happiness, yet in the context of a task saturated life, can become overwhelmed by them and fearful of facing them. The all too often human response is to deny, ignore, or defend against this information. The internal net result is guilt and anxiety as well as the un-actualized life.
Most challenges can be solved when they are FACED yet NONE of them can be solved until they are, indeed, FACED. Solving these challenges often requires time, money, know-how and courage. People who Illuminate the challenges and work toward their solutions are admired at as critical thinkers, mentors and leaders. They take personal responsibility for acquiring the resources necessary for the task.
This Organization is resistant to feedback especially if it presents a 'challenge' or 'seemingly negative issue'. Employees are denigrated for sharing these observations, and reprisals are often taken and become cynical adversaries of the management and leadership.
The Illuminated Organization is characterized as a great place to work, innovative, and highly profitable. Why? Because the their people, from front line to leadership and all in between, have the character to consider these issues in the context of their mission and vision. They engage the Illuminate process of Face It, Follow It and Fix It. They create and foster a culture that observes, shares, takes action, learns and moves forward toward their collective goals and objectives.
