Is the Corp. world (Cw) different from the real world
Visitory of good over evil – yes sure!! But what about the waging war within ???
During one of my recent coaching session’s – a senior leader seemed very disconcerted with the coaching process that he was saddled with, by his organization as a part of his leadership growth journey. The initial perception I unconsciously formed about him was of a very worldly wise individual with an overall cynical disposition .
Eventually when I did manage to break the ice and in due course of my deeper interactions with him I realised that he was grappling with a tug of war between his external environment and his inner world.
Most of us live in this constant state of incongruence but choose to turn a blind eye towards it. This paradox of the corp. vs. the real world is something that has often plagued my mind. Recent happenings around the world and some closer home, have made these incongruities quite apparent and have caused a surge in my cognitive dissonance…(table of paradox mentioned below)
A few questions that I wish to pick your brain with …
– Are we too comfortable with these contradictions Or we are just not prepared to process these paradoxes ? – What are we (so called humans) moving towards ? Are we evolving or rapidly contributing towards dysgenics of our future generations. – What are the impressions and impact that we are creating for our future corp. Czars or world leaders ? – Are values & culture building programs meant only for some pseudo ROI seeking people development initiatives for multinationals/ conglomerates?
