Perfection is good or bad? What nature has achieved by creating a perfect man? How corporate approach the issue of perfection?......
Is aiming for a state perfection good for corporate? The question may appear bizarre, nonsense and highly eccentric. How an effort for a state of perfection can be bad? Is it possible to achieve perfection in corporate and if so how? What is the true meaning and consequences of the word perfection? After all, who like to be imperfect in the world?
Human mind is yet to understand how perfection can be dangerous and detrimental? The story of creation of man itself testifies how perfection can be so destructive and harmful. In the course of evolution, nature appears to have done several indefinite experiments, trial & error and would have finally produced the man, ‘biologically the best perfect species’ – Homo sapiens.
Ironically, before even the nature could gaze at its creation – the man and admires its perfect creation, the perfect man has started sowing the seeds of destruction of the beautiful nature and its wonderful resources.
The payment and dividends the nature has to incur for the creation of the perfect man is the extinction, elimination and destruction of its beauty and diversity.
The probable reason for the strange behaviour exhibited by the man may be due to his love for imperfect things, be it animate or inanimate. Man love antiques and always attaches numismatic value to good old things even though they may not be in a perfect or usable state. Many handicrafts, he loves to give an antique touch to make imperfect so it look old and beautiful. But why the same man when dealing with their parents or grand parents who are really antiques and imperfect with age, treat differently.
How the story of perfection and being perfect goes in corporate? The incredible truth is that most corporate in general never like to be perfect. Being perfect in business means unfit for business. For example, a perfect subordinate is a perennial problem to the boss whether the boss being perfect or not. It can be a problem to the subordinate also. If the subordinate smartly/artificially engineer a gap in his/her work to show and provide an opportunity to the boss to make it perfect means excellent. The boss needs an opportunity to prove that he/she is the most perfect. Such subordinates are loudly applauded by the boss. Imperfection really becomes helpful to survive in corporate world.
The most difficult question to answer is why biologically the so perfect man loves the imperfection so much. May be because of his high level of insecurity that nothing around him should appear perfect except, himself. Anything appear perfect before him, he destroy them. The boundless beauty of nature may be hurting him deeply that the nature is more perfect than man, hence he destroy them.
Perhaps nature would have approached the problem of perfection while creating man purely from the biological point of view and not from behavioural or psychological point of view. Perfection will have its own set of problems and only when a perfect creature is created, the problem will be known and that is what nature may be suffering now.
Anyway, in corporate, if people at least artificially create some element of imperfection, they can live happily as such imperfect state always help the boss to prove he/she is the most perfect. One of the best ways to survive well is to make others feel that they are the most perfect while consciously keeping you a bit imperfect in corporate.
Bamboo Business Approach: A Natural Phenomenon Mirrored in Corporate Strategies
