Article - 43 Week 52 Excusitis & responsibility:

Excusitis & responsibility:

Conjunctivitis blurs our vision and Excusitis  blurs our mind. The employer says his failure is due to his shoddy employees & the employee says his failure is due to the shoddy salary given by his employee. And the truth is no where in the vicinity.

Let's start with the employer. He needs to have a viable business in place. Just having a strategy or capital is no guarantee for better performance of his entity. Then he has to have the right person for the right place in his outfit. If there is a less competent & ineffective guy taking away a lot more salary & appreciation than another who is more competent and effective, the latter would flunk and shrink. That is not his fault though! In fact the results could be disastrous if the former is made the boss of the latter. Don't we see the family people, relatives, friends, or the sweet talkers to the owner or controller of the business outfit, are made the bosses, while the the more competent & efficient employees are made to subserve them?

Individually as employees, we think no end to ourselves. We compare ourselves with the best in the organisation, so far as the salary, recognition, perks, and facilities go. When we realise that our performance is actually not as good as the guy we are comparing with, we blame the company, the salary, the prices of the company's products, the quality of the company's products, the irate customer, the lack of training, too much work pressure, lack of company facilities, no perks, recession, too much competitions, no good IT systems, lousy HR policies, our age, our inexperience, the unfair boss, lack of cooperation from colleagues, too much heat, too much cold, too much rains,  and many such stories. I do not say that there is no truth in the stories. But that truth has really insignificant influence on our performances, if any. The real factors affecting our performance goes underneath these fat & indulgent stories. We fail to see them. And we see & believe more of our manufactured stories.

When both sides have their stories, the realities are bent to unprecedented excuses. It may not be that easy to uncover the brutal & at times unpleasant reality behind our stories. However, we would surely fail to realise our potential until such time that we do uncover & reflect on them.
