Organizations that concentrate on developing and mobilizing total poise would be powering their businesses for long-term corporate growth, success, and leadership!
Total organizational poise occurs where all key organizational systems are in their best state and are fully optimized to deliver the best they could on a sustainable basis. Total organizational poise is the intrinsic key to high-performance organizational systems. Fostering total organizational poise in your business is an enduring challenge but ultimately rewarding for long-term competitive advantage and growth.

Total Poise Development as a Corporate Mandate

Developing total organizational poise and effective organizational synergy is a key success factor to long-run organizational leadership and growth! And total poise development in an organization or businness should be seen as a corporate mandate.
In a business environment of discontinuities and fast obsolescence of knowledge—and, even, of technology—the competition would be beyond technology. It would be what drives technology, creativity and innovations: the superior essence of the human mind and character. This is what would create the competitive edge for long-run corporate growth and leadership.
If you are a top executive, how you see your corporate mandate is key. If you see part of your mission as that of ensuring the future of your organization in business, you would be taking imaginative steps for total organizational poise development. This would involve using robust organizational development tools and technologies to keep all key organizational systems and subsystems in top condition—and in interdependent alignment—for effective synergy. It would translate to imaginatively fostering the synergy of excellence in people's actualizing attributes and excellence in organizational systems in alignment with a high-performing organizational culture.

Exploring The Concept of Total Poise

To understand any phenomenon or paradigm, a first principle is to examine its elements. Then, to consider its essence based on the relationships of those elements. This is how we could appreciate the concept of total poise.
'Total' refers to all the key systems as well as subsystems and facets of the organization, and key aspects of 'poise'.
Regarding 'poise', some concepts that promote an understanding of poise are wholesomeness, wholeness, integrity, strength, dignity, alignment, equilibrium, synchronization, and synergy.
Also, the essence of poise could be seen from its lack—i.e., its obverse. Such words or phrases as: tension, confusion, disturbance, chaos, uncoordinated condition, unrelaxed condition, lack of composure, and risk aversion, vividly demonstrate what lack of poise connotes.
In an organization, total poise occurs when all the key systems and people of the organization are well-developed, empowered and positioned to give the best they could.
