CHANGING CORPORATE WORLD!

If the people who work for companies are more important than the fixed assets, it follows that ensuring the right people are doing the right work is growing ever more significant to corporate success.

This principle matters on two levels: that of the company and that of the individual. We all want to feel that we are doing worthwhile work, and that we are getting the training, education and on the job challenges we need in order to assure ourselves that what we do is making a difference.

The problem for many people is that they rarely get the chance to show what they can do. The pushy ones ensure they get plenty of opportunities, whether they excel. But leaving the organisation of the workplace to a raw struggle may not be a good idea. If you end up with a pride of alpha males fighting it out for supremacy you are not creating the best conditions for long-term success.

Survival of the fittest understood, is not necessarily about the healthiest specimens but about those who are most fitted to succeed. In today’s workplace it is probably about those best equipped to adapt in a fast-changing corporate world and nowhere is the speed of change more evident.
