Management
Esalen Institute is organized as a California nonprofit corporation, certified by the Internal Revenue Service for tax exemptions under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Currently, Esalen is managed by CEO Tricia McEntee, with Gordon Wheeler now serving as President, supervised by a Board of Trustees. In 2011, a "Leadership Culture Survey" was commissioned by Esalen to assess the quality of its leadership culture. The results were negative. The survey measured how well the leadership "builds quality relationships, fosters teamwork, collaborates, develops people, involves people in decision making and planning, and demonstrates a high level of interpersonal skill." In the "relating dimension" the survey returned a score of 18%, compared to a desired 88%. It also produced strongly dissonant scores in measures of community welfare, relating with interpersonal intelligence, clearly communicating vision, and building a sense of personal worth within the community. It ranked management as overly compliant and lacking authenticity. However, the survey found that Esalen closely matched its overall goal for customer focus.
