exposure.
in typical corporate environment people are assigned certain area to be at. when the person works on this area, people see person as person doing that. this has couple problems:
- what if person is a polymath (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath)? from person perspective narrow focusarea means boredom, as not being able to do stuff on all skillareas. from company perspective one person mastering multiple areas is an asset, meaning brings e.g holistic approach what a person does.
- personal growth. i doubt anyone wants to do the same stuff to the infinity. in normal work environment, there should be some routines and some new stuff. it is dependant of the person how much these are percentagewise.
- career. likewise the above, person is invisibly put into certain character, which means "impossible" to consider to do other stuff.
all the above, and more make motivation, willingness to stay etc.
people tend to make lot of assumptions. if they have seen the person doing something, they aassume the "prison" to person, as the exposure of person has been to them what they have seen. this can be concluded with the saying: people tend to look world through their own eyes, whereas it should be look themselves through the world - no assumptions, but evaluation of situation first and then make informed thought.
similar thing apply to management. manager capabilities to handle information to make a decision is dependant of manager view of thought process, ideally it would be : observer something fist, then on orientation which is one of most important part as it is dependant of many charasteristics (experience, skills, ability to handle information, external world exposure etc), then running int o some decisions and finally action - and this should be recursive loop. so it is also exposure to information, exposure to skills, closed group of people makes rotten decisions in the end since the common skills of group is not growing without external influence.
no words of wisdom on this post, maybe continuing some day.
