Reading "Seeking Atmosphere" by E. Berman PsyD.

Recently, Fortune Magazine released it's list of the Top 100 Best Companies to work for. As a manager of a business one imagines reading this list with a question of where am I on this list? More realistically, how can I make my company better? In order to craft plans for employee retention and satisfaction, growing productivity and improving communication one should turn to an organizational psychologist.

In her article, "Seeking Atmosphere", Psychologist Eileen Berman concludes that good leaders bring out the best in people, and that both high and low productivity can be traced back to the top of an organization (Berman, 2009). One imagines that, as a manager, this is an inspiring message. A task of an organizational Psychologist in this author's business would be help identify ways to implement a milieu that engenders loyalty and happiness in my company.
