"I like this book. Catherine Berney is a wise and practical companion on the leader's journey. She speaks with equal sense about the individual, about courageous conversations between colleagues, about groups and systems, risks and solutions. This book is built on good theory and will stimulate good practice." Mark Goyder, Founder Director, Tomorrow’s Company
"Although the title says it all, the full understanding of what the author sets forth for us about this new working dynamic and why we seriously need to grasp these concepts became more and more clear with every 'enlightening' chapter." Carol Vahey, Global Consultant, Head of Talent Development for one of the top global fund management companies
"This book is an essential read for business leaders operating in an increasingly demanding and complicated world. With traditional management strategies less and less relevant, The Enlightened Organization provides a set of simple tools to help us navigate this new environment with skill and ease." Mary Heaney, Director, Futurelex and The Global Legal Post
"As organizations and their leaders face more complex challenges, they need new tools. But the tools offered by consultants often fail to connect the organizational challenge to our own lived experience. Catherine Berney's wide-ranging and highly readable book rests on an invaluable insight -- the way to understand and meet the needs of organizations is to understand and meet our own needs as human beings. This book can help you become a better leader and a more fulfilled person." Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, RSA
"Berney bridges multiple disciplines to offer wisdom and clarity into the heart of what matters in business." Andrew Kakabadse, Professor of Governance and Leadership, Henley Business School
