In today's highly 'result-oriented' business environment, this heart is taken mostly for granted.

Over the years the delicate and personal quality of our relationships with peer managers, employees, supervisors, and between employees themselves, deteriorates immensely.

We know that it happens but we don't know why.

If we try to mend the existing situation, we are only partly successful, if at all. After a while we find ourselves frustrated again, reproaching our subordinates, and witnessing others crushing their colleagues. Production drops, and our sales are negatively affected.

Why do we feel that we care about our people, but they don't care about us in return?

How do we create an organizational environment that really works, in which trust and openness are not dirty words, but true, internalized values?

How do we create an environment in which personal and organizational learning becomes the only way we do business?

How can we revive our current organizational vision, or design a new one so that it won't just become a framed memory hung on office walls?

What is the golden link between the employees, their relationships, and the success of the organization as a whole?

• Do you feel a gap between the current reality and how you would like things to be?
  
• Do you feel there's an urgent need to shape up the system?
  
• Do you also believe it's possible but...?

In order to make a genuine and long lasting change, first of all you need to be clear that this is what you want, although you may not be at all clear about the best way to get there.

When Houlite works with your organization, managers and employees will:

• Gain a better understanding of what prevents the organization from improving,
  
• identify hidden bottle-necks,
  
• learn how to create and maintain a valid organizational vision,
  
• accomplish a new dimension of communication that generates mutual respect
• expand the organization's heart!

These changes generate further positive change:

• New levels of management (based on caring, sensitivity, active listening and on what is appropriate rather than what the rules are),
• genuine and profound learning processes will emerge throughout the organization,
• powerful delegation,
• empowering feedback,
• team learning and team-work,
• high levels of combined efficiency and effectiveness,
• becoming a "learning organization"!
