In today's mainstream, businesses are collapsing and weakening in every track. This crumble is due to a selection of factors, ranging from displeased personnel, slander of corporate brands and individual characters, decreased moral, deceitfulness and unethical tactics, lack of care for the community, and the list could easily continue on. When one issue happens without resolution and attention, then a domino effect follows and issue after issue after issue could take place creating tsunamis that wipe out businesses that had the possibility to be enormous.

In today's mainstream, businesses are collapsing and weakening in every track. This crumble is due to a selection of factors, ranging from displeased personnel, slander of corporate brands and individual characters, decreased moral, deceitfulness and unethical tactics, lack of care for the community, and the list could easily continue on. When one issue happens without resolution and attention, then a domino effect follows and issue after issue after issue could take place creating tsunamis that wipe out businesses that had the possibility to be enormous.

The root cause of these tsunamis: Hierarchical Elitism

As we have worked to evolve on a international level, instead of individuals, communities and organizations coming together to produce a leadership style that supports the every varying requirements of our organizations and brings us together as a whole to labor jointly and effectively for optimum production, this evolution has instead resulted in an hierarchical elitism that produces the circumstances discussed above that results in man-made tsunamis that are similar to those that caused the credit catastrophe, fiscal collapse in Greece, the fall of Enron, Merrill Lynch and other devastating storms of the insurance, real-estate, and finance industries in addition to other facets of any company arena.

Hierarchical elitism, or hierarchical values, generates an environment that suggests an either-or scenario: wealthy or deprived, employer or worker, have or have not, etc. that implies that there's forever a group that's better, or higher up, than another, when in truth, this is not the instance. Hierarchical systems promote those at the bottom feeling wronged, undervalued and defeated which gives them reason to excuse their procedures that work against a group's mission.

The impetus for hierarchical elitism can at least in part be linked to immaturity and a lack of self-realization of the organization and the individuals that make up that organization. When encouraging individuals and helping to ensure that their basic needs in any organization are met, we support self-realization that promotes the maturity needed for any society, business or educational organization to grow and function ethically.

To initiate and foster the transformation needed to move us away from the hierarchical mindset, we need leaders that facilitate an environment that supports the protocol of ethics and maturity for a co-creative process where all involved in the organization or community work together towards common values, goals and visions that support optimal efficiency and results. By doing so, leaders will assist in developing individuals that come together as a 'soul organization' that, when broken down, is made up of happier and healthier individuals. And this type of transformation should also focus on our education systems and our students, as they will make up our future communities and organizations.

In a mature organization that supports good ethics, the people that make up the association feel empowered and part of a bigger picture. The seven competencies, that are mutually dependent and connected like the molecule of a cell, that we generally find in mature businesses which promote this type of result are:

* Confidence.

* Commitment.

* Co-Creation.

* Connection.

* Communication.

* Celebration & Course Correction.

* Caring.

When all of these competencies are found in an association, confidence, self-regard, mutual admiration, productive administration and superior efficiency are a small number of the positive results.

When leaders pull together to foster the transformation and mature group discussed now, effective communication is going on. In any association, an effective leader includes people at all stages within the association to facilitate and develop co-creative, effectual groups that will produce services and goods set forth in the organization's overall goal and foresight through transparent and to the point communication by doing the following:

* Leaders help us discover who we are as an organization and creating a sense of organizational identity.

* Leaders help us produce and commit to goals and objectives for the company and the projected outcome of those goals.

* Leaders help us form and own a vision as we work toward goals in a way that promotes excitement.

* Leaders reaffirm individual worth and contribution for the association.

* Leaders create planning the group's approach so the objectives become realistic.

* Leaders communicate how much they believe in us; reaffirming trust and belief in the company's employees and supporters.

When all of the elements that create tsunamis are addressed as individual building blocks that eventually produce mass destruction when they build on top of each other, it can occasionally feel overwhelming to tackle the issue, but our world's transformation to a better means of doing business requires that we do start tackling them. Even taking small actions is better than sitting back and hoping for some great big move or conversion.

With a commitment for change, each small step taken to promote that change is the building block to impact the world in a major way to transform values, protect the global economy and improve sustainability for organizations throughout the globe. It's our responsibility to lead this movement for a better future for all of us to prevent tsunamis of the future.
