Business
Business As Usual
Give it some thought….
Back to the topic at hand – many of these new businesses with a social benefit, appeal to an intrinsic value. This is the direction business is taking. What does it hurt to discover what intrinsically motivates you? People think that pursuing your passion means I have to shy away from a full time job or I have to venture out on my own, but it’s not. Pursuing your passion can simply mean pursuing what you love through a job that you love. Aligning your passion with your profession.
Right now the work environment or most businesses are separated into two components. Planning labor and manual labor. When I began to research the history of management I found out that it was a relatively new concept (late 1800s, early 1900s) developed by a man named Fredrick Taylor. And so if you wonder why the people in the Head Office or executives of corporations do more planning and less manual work, it’s in part due to this gentleman.
For most of us, we execute what the executives of our company plan. In a nutshell, his logic was this: To increase the productivity of workers you need someone to tell them exactly what to do, how to do it and when to do it (Management). This model worked in the past and contributed to tons to economic growth and technological advancements. But as the societal context changes the model needs to as well.
You see my species has the habit of building on its predecessors work whether it’s the most effective method or not. There are individuals in our time who are raising up a new standard. And as the businesses restructure to tap into the human potential more, schools will be forced to restructure. Because school is designed to prep you for the workplace. These social engineers and individuals who have caught a glimpse of this shift are tapping into another level of human potential. Where they don’t see humans as drones, who just do whatever their managers tell them, but they have a creative genius, and intellectual power that can do wonders if given an environment to flourish. All they need is guidance.
