But when, for who...Instruction is good and needed. But when, for whom, how much, for what...? Can adults be treated like children and ordered about? I quoted Dr Fritjof Capra in the epilogue. Let me quote him again from the same book: "A machine can be controlled; a living system, according to the systemic understanding of life, can only be disturbed. In other words, organizations cannot be controlled through direct interventions, but they can be influenced by giving impulses rather than instructions. ... intelligent, alert people rarely carry out instructions exactly to the letter. They always modify and reinterpret them, ignore some parts and add others of their own making."<br /><br />I come across management systems that want their employees to be unquestioning, unthinking robots. Follow the orders or get the hell out - that's the attitude.

Following norms and standards does not mean that we should not question the status quo and look beyond what is...isn't that the only way to grow?外人, gaijin...an outsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638895678170997069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-39310523954611161352014-07-15T17:38:48.530+05:302014-07-15T17:38:48.530+05:30you have hit the bulls eye with this...bang on!!you have hit the bulls eye with this...bang on!!Karan Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537659275985610536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-20914239112798560782014-07-15T16:35:26.842+05:302014-07-15T16:35:26.842+05:30Truely said, Tomichan!

Or the emotions are not strong enough for poetry. <br /><br />Do the systems today allow people to think and act freely? Rigid structures are being imposed on workers in the name of quality control, profit, productivity, or whatever.

A puppet cannot be creative. A creative mind is a free mind.
