Perfect Symphony
Indian Management|July 2019

What results is a melody when different notes harmoniously blend. And what evolves is an organisation that scores high on productivity, employee satisfaction, and profitability when its various elements integrate.

Perfect Symphony
My business purpose: To help organisations become stronger by increasing the integration of systems that enhance human understanding and create positive interaction. I could count on one hand the business people I have known over the last 40 years who have a written ‘business purpose’. It might be something that you might want to consider. A business purpose provides clarity for broadening, evolving, organising, and documenting your talents into a meaningful tool box that can be communicated to those who can potentially benefit from your expertise.

My son is a startup internet entrepreneur. The following is an email letter that I sent to him: Coby: This is my suggestion for a conversation with each new employee. The following is you talking:

“I have found my passion. One of the things that is important to me is to help everyone in the organization ‘find their passion’.

It is not an easy thing to ask and not an easy thing to achieve. But you have joined our journey and there are multitudes of challenges ahead of us. If you are looking for something to be passionate about within the context of our mission, I guarantee you will be able to find it, eventually.

If you ever want to ‘dialogue about your personal journey’, it is one of my favorite subjects, so don’t hesitate to invite me into your considerations.

The synergy of ‘interlocking passions’ is a rare condition. The potential results are huge, impossible to predict and most often ‘wow the world’.”

Love, Dad We are all ‘intuitionally brilliant’ from time to time. But without developing mental models that flow from these flashes of insights, we cannot use our newfound knowledge in a systematic way. We then become slaves to coincidence waiting for forces of nature to line up again in a way that allows us to have similarly cogent insight.
