Refection

"Human beings are the most important, potent and critical, resource of any organization, and yet the least understood and the worst managed of its resources"

REFLECTION

Reflections at this point towards a balance view on human beings as part of the world, the universe, and the cosmos. Of course, human beings are special and precious – there are not many of us around in our own corner of the galaxy, and that means that they have a role and a responsibility as part of the world. “As part of the world” cannot, I think, be replaced by “as goal of the world”. Overshooting on the side of the importance of human beings, has rightly been criticized – when human beings belong their sense of belonging to the universe and start to instrumentalist all other beings and resources just in view of themselves, then a destructive dynamism ensues that will, in the end, also lead to the destruction of the living conditions and possibilities of the human beings themselves. But, not recognizing the special role and capacities of human beings at the service of change in the universe and not allowing for human beings to be considered “something special”, deprives the world of a capacity it has given itself.

People are the most powerful resource to build the world and human mind is the most potent to convert any dream into reality. An organization is only as good as the sum total of its human resources. For an organization to be successfully competent it needs to be progressive and provide an environment of transparent growth through learning and value -based development in a structured manner. Modern analysis emphasizes that human beings are not "commodities" or "resources", but are creative and social beings in a productive enterprise. Throughout the civilization process human beings have tried to organize themselves. Human well being goal has given rise to political system, economic system, social institutions. But all are governed by time bound action programmers which does not look beyond life time of maximum of two generations as private motive, time preference for present over future dominate. Non human biodiversity, their space in the ecosystem, role in human well being are least understood.
