I really like the idea of developing management towards not acting as the executive function or even metacognition of the organization, which should rightly be attributes of individuals in the organization, but creating awareness. Exchange of information is a continuous process but meaningless without awareness. Consciousness or awareness (are they the same thing?) is like a low hum that permeates all funtion and ties it into existence. Creating awareness in the organization creates meaning and solidifies the existence of the organization. An aware organization is strong and can act more profoundly in the present, it can react more quickly and correctly to what happens around it. It seems that leadership is to blame for so much nowadays - from the lack of motivation of employees to even problems with their health. When people are helped become aware and when an organization becomes aware the only result can be increased self-directedness and fulfilment.
