Hi Everyone.
I am back…. And this time with a bang! Today the discussion is very unusual. The blog discusses a fact, that all of us have a feeling of self-important and we are obviously aware of it. This is the prime cause of what I am going to discuss today. The only reason it is not in the conscious of everybody is - it's considered a taboo. The subjects don't discuss it because they don't want to acknowledge it and the leaders don't accept it because they don't want to take the trouble of addressing it.
Yes…… I am speaking about the invisible structures that are formed in any social arrangement that exist around us.
Yesterday I was reading a blog on Harvard Business Review. The discussion was on how to crack such a deplorable structure. But first let's accord on why these structures are formed.
I believe it's absolutely human to think, that one is supreme in every aspect albeit it's not always true. When people think in this manner they subconsciously mingle with people of same outlook and calibre. Unfortunately this does not happen only to a few selected but with all of us. People, to save face, say that they stay together as their wavelengths match. But in the long run, they don't realize that they have nearly stopped interacting freely with others. The formation of these structures thus hinders the flow of knowledge and information among groups. They are hence, not able to give in their full efficiency. There are various other psychological reasons moving parallel to what I have said, but I think this is a major reason for these structures, and it is a matter of great concern.
When discussed in public, the issue seems to be verboten. People don't talk because they don't want to show an outsider, that they are dispersed groups in an organisation (because this is the mentality with which each one of us has grown). Again they don't want to bring themselves in the eyes of the management. What wonders me is why do leaders and motivators avoid it?
Today leaders and motivators encounter ever complex problems, then what is the reason that they avoid it? They, according to me, fear defame. But today we need to create classless organisations and institutions. Not only because they breed harmony among employees and students but, as the blog says "organizations need the best ideas of everyone and cross-disciplinary teamwork" to succeed in this cut throat competition. The blogger has given a few tips to crack this.
Firstly he says to "Perform a diagnosis" by asking people about the group or the class to which they belong. Find out the reason of bonding between them. He then says to "create a classless society" wherein the distinctions would be based on meritocracy and not democracy. Thirdly he argues about practicing what is being preached in the organisation or the system. If the management does not practice the things it imposes on others then the employee morale drastically goes down and the acceptance of the changes comes to question. Finally the Blog says that Intolerance of bad behaviour is an absolute necessity. As it says, "Nothing gets the message across better than a few public hangings."
Hence with a note, that the points mentioned today will be given a serious thought, and with a smile on my face I wish you farewell.
Will be back with another hot topic … Promise!!
