Why when an employee decides to leave the organization is hated suddenly and so the employee also speak bad about the organization.....
Cuckoo is a bird every one knows and is also described to be a singer in the garden. Cuckoo represent two important aspects of learning such as learn something to follow and learn something not to follow in corporate life.
The young nestlings, the moment open their eyes, see crow mother feeding them so affectionately. All they suppose to know and accept in real sense is crow as their true mother. They have no chance of knowing anything other than crow in their early life. Without crow, they would not have even hatched out of the egg.
The day the baby cuckoo grows into fledgling and able to move and fly, either it is chased by crow or it escapes by own self. No regard or gratitude is shown back to the crow. The crow is also spontaneously changes its motherly affection into historic rivalry or unstoppable haltered towards the baby cuckoo.
What is so much to learn from the above event that is happening very commonly in nature? Why the learning is so relevant to corporate?
Why neither the crow is true in its motherly affection it was showering on baby cuckoo until the crow become aware of the fact that it is cuckoo and not crow nor baby cuckoo is grateful or even thankful to the crow mother who took care of it so well until it become self reliant or self supportive?
The bitter truth is that crow is a crow and cuckoo is a cuckoo. Crow lives for crow and cuckoo lives for cuckoo.
It is mystery of nature that cuckoo played the role of baby crow for sometime and crow played the role of cuckoo’s mother for a short while. Both of them were sincere in their role when then were playing. Once the role scripted for them got over, they become two separate species with two distinct purpose and meaning for their life.
This is how the life of employee and the culture of most corporate are. As long as the employee is working for/working with the organization, he or she will be treated as an asset. So shall the description of employee about the organization. They describe the organization to be the best place on earth, it is a paradise etc. The description of some of the inefficient employees about the organization can easily beat the veneration of all the passionate teenagers’ about their lovers. Once they decided to move to another organization, the employees would be described by the organization as worst and irresponsible and vice versa.
So naturally, both the employees and the corporate could convert their love energy to hate energy. Asset become liability and paradise become desert & dirty.
Are we not following the culture of crow and cuckoo in corporate? Crow has the reason to get angry with the baby cuckoo as she was jilted by cuckoo’s mother. Cuckoo has a reason not to wait and thank the crow as all of a sudden the affectionate mother has become very devilish and ferocious, so it has to escape.
Does this situation exist in corporate? Why employee who wishes to leave the organization should be hated so badly? Why the employee should hate the organization he or she was working so long, so suddenly? Introspection is necessary on both sides. Let the learning flow from crow and cuckoo.
Bamboo Business Approach: A Natural Phenomenon Mirrored in Corporate Strategies
