8 Vital Points for a new era beyond managers
I feel there is lot
of wisdom in the following piece which Phenella writes in “The Unwritten
Comedy”. “To be ignorant of many things is expected. To know you are ignorant
of many things is the beginning of wisdom. To know a category of things of
which you are ignorant is the beginning of learning. To know the details of that
category of things of which you are ignorant is to no longer be
ignorant.”
1. Inevitable laws: - Life’s evolutionary
aspirations are tossed between repetitions and changes. “In the end nothing less than
the whole of everything can be the truth of anything at all”-
William James. Life is an unmapped atlas which gets its
maps based on our choices, beliefs, actions, reactions, thoughts, attitudes etc
and it is our hands to make each one of these continents as great and as good
as possible.
2. Bad, worse and worst:-So, any mental
fixation in any domain is bad; status quo addiction to such fixations is worse
and worst is to extrapolate anything and everything with such fixations is
worst. “We live in a changing
universe, and few things are changing faster than our conception of it”-Timothy
Ferris. “There is no tomorrow. There is only a planet turning on its axis, and
a creature given to optimistic fancies”-Robert Brault
3. We
cannot deny or defy the importance of anything: - We cannot predict
all emerging trends and therefore much less prepare for any change with a bunch
of known factors as trend predictions is yet to evolve with scientific
precision
4.
Evolution is the final judge and it is a process:-Whatever terminology
we may adopt or whatever vocabulary we use to define any emerging phenomenon or
trend it is ultimately the play of evolution in the domain of organizational or
administrative structure.
5.
Contexts created by change change the characteristics of the contexts:-The most important
wisdom is to make the necessary adjustments to emerging changes and contexts.
6.
Civilization in its totality is nothing but evolving trends and trending
changes:-
No
individual life is permanent and nothing is a panacea for any aspect of living.
7.
Value of vocabulary or words:- At any cost no one can afford to
discount the value of vocabulary then it may cost a lot because words used in
any context or domain are important as they set the narrative and even
influence thinking but we also need to look beyond and behind the connotations
of the words.
8. The beauty of life: - It consists in
the unknowns and the unending searches and researches –the unending process of
evolutionary trends in everything.
We
must remember that we owe to so many souls that have made our evolution to enhance
from Kuru disease generators [this disease happens because of cannibalism] to
cyber Guru Venerators.
