Giver suffers the most that is the law of nature. The corporate employees must learn and understand this natural law.
In nature, except green plants, all other life forms are nothing but consumers of different order i.e. direct consumers – the herbivorous and indirect consumers of green plants – the carnivorous. Green plants are the only producers of food in nature. Unfortunately, green cover only suffers the most. Green plants only directly suffer the indiscriminate and rampant destruction from man despite they offer incalculable good to kind less mankind.
Cow give milk, but once it looses its ability to give milk, the animal would be culled. So is the case with bull. The trees in the orchard or farm, be it coconut tree or mango tree, man will milk the tree to the maximum and once the yield depreciate, the trees will be cut and removed.
Expectations are always high from produces or givers and there will be no expectation from consumers or dependents.
In corporate, the expectations are always high from sales and marketing teams. Unless these ‘primary producers’ do their job properly, the growth and development of the organization will suffer the worst. Always the organization beat the sales team for result but the people in the R&D who speak Latin and Greek, produce no useful and relevant result will be spared.
Among the sales group, TSO’s (Territory Sales Officers) will receive the worst beating. TSO’s are the people actually work in the field and they are the one who generate actual business. All odds, adversities and idiosyncrasies are faced & encountered by these people. Neither they get as fat salary as their boss nor do they enjoy the paraphernalia and luxury. Expectations are more from these people. They give result and hence more results are expected from them.
Another group of people who suffer the worst is people in the factory. They sweat in the shop floor; work hard but expectations are always more from them.
Besides continuous and greedy expectation from the givers, givers also suffer the worst rejection and isolation in the society. If we look at the history of human civilization, all those who had given lots to the world were either punished, giggled & sniggered or isolated like Jesus, Socrates or Jane Austin.
The employees should learn the essential message that if the organization is expecting more from them means they are the givers and the expectations are less means they are mere consumers. Either you be proud that you are a giver and that is why your doors are constantly knocked at or be sad that despite you giving so much, still expectations are high from you.
Remember, if your organization is expecting a lot from you means, many are not working and such an organization is not good to continue with for long time. If a little or no expectation the organization has from you means someone is working hard in your organization and hence it is dangerous that the ‘someone’ if stop working, your organization might die immediately.
Learn to have high expectations from your organization only then you will grow and so your organization. If you work hard with limited expectation, you will have to work harder and harder to meet the expectations of many lazy bugs in your corporate.
Mango tree or coconut tree needs less care/they expect less, interestingly the expectations from these trees are high. Strawberry or mulberry need better care/expect lot, suffer less and expectations from these plants are also less.
Most corporate inadvertently starve the calf to get more milk from the cow; means cut the expenditure on other functions to strengthen the sales. Organization must learn the art of minimizing the pressure of the people from whom the organization expect a lot and ensure and empower other group of people to raise to the level where the organization can have a hope on them in future.
Bamboo Business Approach: A Natural Phenomenon Mirrored in Corporate Strategies
In the realm of business, the bamboo plant offers a fascinating metaphor for certain corporate strategies. Known for its unique reproductive cycle, bamboo experiences a phenomenon called "mass flowering" where all plants in a population bloom simultaneously, set seeds, and then die.
