Recognizing the Shadow in Organizations
Organizational leaders often focus on defining values and principles, but they fail to address the repressed elements known as the shadow. The shadow includes aspects of an organization that are excluded or in conflict with the stated values. These unacknowledged elements can cause dysfunction and slow down the organization. By bringing the shadow to light and integrating it into decision-making processes, organizations can reduce confusion and uncertainty.
