Enlightened leaders are learning that employee fulfillment, social responsibility and environmental stewardship will be the keys to increased productivity and creativity in the future. The values which corporations hold are increasingly affecting their ability to hire the best people and sell their products. Seven Levels of Corporate Consciousness Level 1. The first need for an organization is financial survival. Without profits, or access to a continuing stream of funds organizations quickly perish.
Every organization needs to make financial health a primary concern.
However, when companies become too entrenched in survival consciousness, they develop an exclusive preoccupation with the bottom line and a deep-seeded insecurity about the future. They attempt to allay their fears through excessive control and territorial behavior. Businesses which operate from this level of consciousness are not interested in strategic alliances-takeovers are more their game. They will purchase a company and plunder its assets. They see people and the Earth as resources to be exploited for gain.
