How Would You Go About Building and Maintaining a Strong Company Culture?
First, we need to understand and observe that nature’s law is one of integration, interconnectedness, and interdependence. Outside of human egoistic perception, which first and foremost senses one’s own self-serving needs, nature operates by a law of altruism, connecting its parts with threads of bestowal, and it evolves us to a state where such connections will exist consciously between us on the human level.
We should thus understand that if we have employees, we need to provide them with education so that they reach an understanding of how to act as a single system. Indeed, there are stages in this process of integration, but it is what needs to ultimately unfold. Whoever can implement and adjust to the integral law will be successful in whatever business they enter, because everyone is evolving in a direction of more and more integration, interconnectedness, and interdependence.
Therefore, we would be wise to use the workplace, which has become an environment where a lot of people spend a great portion of their lives, to build relationships that exercise a positive form of connection. Doing so involves caring, supporting, and encouraging employees’ working together in a single system, and that the organization’s success depends on the extent in which the employees advance toward a state of mutual dependence, consideration, and bestowal.
Of course, many of today’s HR departments are responsible for developing team bonding, arranging weekends together, and providing employees with various courses. However, they do so within a general competitive environment. In other words, business owners aim to develop positive connections among their employees because they see how it helps their business advance against their competition, which means that they build their business ultimately on the idea that they need to outcompete others in order to earn more, profit more, and rise to the top. Nature, however, is developing us to a point where such egoistic forms of competition will drive us to a point of despair, and we will have to develop a new attitude toward reality where we wish to be together in order to help each other, to open ourselves up. Such an approach will lead to a much broader concept of success in the future.
How Can Business Owners Foster Interdependence in the Workplace?
Business owners will need to undergo a perceptual shift in order to accord with nature’s general evolutionary direction to more and more unified states. Therefore, business owners should take nature’s integral law and direction of development into account, then this law will operate on business owners’ minds to impact a perceptual shift in a direction of more integrality. Tomorrow’s success will demand that everyone, including business owners, will have to consider the benefit of humanity as a whole, and the definition of businesses will change accordingly.
What is this shift in perception for business owners in practice? It is such that we have run our business with full concern for everyone in the business’ entire chain. For instance, we should be on top of everything happening in the business’ field, see who is better and worse at various aspects, and make concessions to those who are the best in their respective fields. For example, take a business that produces pencils. We know that someone makes pencils in the best possible way, so we wish to strengthen those people, and this is done out of a concern for bringing the consumer the best possible pencils they can get. In other words, the business owner’s concern should be for humanity’s benefit and not for their own pockets.
Therefore, we will eventually reach a common understanding that business success depends on positive connections among its members and not on technicalities or expertise. We will increasingly find how expertise will fall short and become subordinate to human relations. Out of these positive human connections, we will begin to feel and understand how the business can succeed. We will begin to discover how to construct ourselves so as to become a truly successful business, which depends solely on our positive connections.
