Organizational Hype and Courage

Much time in spent in maintaining cooperate glossy images in organizations today. One of the reasons is that people are not real and authentic. It is a vicious cycle and the rules of rugged individualism contribute mightily to it!

Cooperation’s will not start to report their internal problems without being attacked by the media. In the attempt to present glossy unrealistic expectation of perfection organizations are compel to go round and round and create even more glossier images to feed those expectations. It is a problem that must be solved but how?

To solve the problem of organizational hype is by organizational courage. It is a giant step forward and is taken by individuals who risk speaking with authenticity and vulnerability. It begins with one person and if done persistently soon others will follow. It will generate a culture shift. I must remind myself and others that we have a long way to go and it will not necessarily be an easy journey.
