Healthy organizations are groups of people that enhance and support the talents and qualities of both individuals and the community at large. Such organizations balance employee and client satisfaction with profitability. Striking this balance in a business environment pushes the boundaries of financial success and even personal relationships. The challenge of this push is first encountered, and must be embraced, by the company’s leadership.
