Why to work???

Strange... Do I need to work??? If yes, then why??? Question everything, does not really mean just, asking question. It means try to understand the reasons behind decisions and behavior.

In this perspective, trying to answer to the question I will go back to Maslow's hierarchy. Even, it is too classic. We get security, socialize and realize our ambitions.

Then, comes the question when to leave/quit the job and start the new one. Back to Maslow, when you will loose all attributes of the hierarchy. Or may be when you feel that this hierarchy disappears.

But, in reality perception of danger in human is too different from the hierarchy. Small interview makes me clear that people may quit their job just because you said something wrong. But, then where to put Maslow's concept.

Even, if I am not psychological professional I get understand that it is important to divide decisions taken under the emotional pressure or let us say irrational decisions and rational ones. Rational ones are those which you take only after evaluation and deep analysis of situation. Irrational you take just because someone was too bad to you. Or you just fed up with the situation. Solution here is, just taking a vacation.

Same as in boxing, you get time out just to analyse situation. Get you focus back and then return to the fight.

Unfortunately, most people see work environment as an arena. Some shows their beauty, others power etc. It is even strange that people do not want (now I consider management as a part of society and refer to them as to people)to understand that in a company we have common goal. That goal is not to eliminate someone, it is the company targets which will guarantee our job security.

Yes, I get my reply nobody cares about us, management just gets their money and bonuses. But, where is sustainable growth. In modern world, it is impossible to do something and then to hide it. Somewhere, someone will bring this issue up and somebody will lose her reputation.

That is the point. Understand why you are working? How you own targets are related to the company targets? Understand can you change you targets if they are against of company? If not where you can go? And then, just do it...

Things that you can...

Modern companies or let us say modern companies in emerging world is thinking of how to control and have more control. This control approach creates a real complexity over the management system and as it is obvious we behave rationally in the irrational way. But, trying to control we just kill our business. Create complexity and as result revenues go down and nobody can understand where is the problem...

Problem is with us... We carry it on our back from year to year. We feed it it, we grow it and then find out that we have an enemy which we call our problem. And our problem is complexity which comes from the truth...It is really simple we just do not believe in each other. It is possible to say we just do not believe that we can give somebody certain task and s/he will not cheat us...

Yeah, this lead us to hire people whom we know, who are referenced... People who have been graduated from the same school, country, region, etc as we are. But, we are still unsure... Some people hire even their relatives and then get the same result on cheating.

What we can do... Strange but very simple... Do not expect too much... Explain as simple as you can... Trust to person as much as you can... Share your benefit with people as much as you can...

And we believe if you would make as well as you can you will solve your problems!!!
