Is it a "Youth" eat Youth World

Transitioning management of companies from old youthful horses to young people across all sectors   The first lesson of getting into management is that no one is irreplaceable, so you have come into a job what is left is your move out. This should not be a bad thing. Movement in companies reflects growth and progress. If there is personal stagnation there is generally loss of potential institutional growth. So why do people fear movement, leaving a job, seeking higher posting or going into new areas.   Zimbabwean institutional challenges may be narrated in historical terms. Skilled specialists in low level areas held a culture of mythical stagnation. In the 1960 tradition, submission and obedience were key words. Things would be done in the old ways. The teacher in handcraft/practical jobs would never teach the student everything for fear of becoming ill relevant.

Silenced by Uniformity

Silenced by Uniformity  When one looks at the world and views the beauty of creation, It is a wonder that there’re such diverse groups in creation yet in the midsts of each group the individual is unique.

The Power of Influence  The most powerful influencer is he who can change the hear, behaviour must follow where the heart will lead.  Most people who deal with subordinates desire to make them change or align to certain behaviour. Parents and teachers may use bribes and discipline to ensure behavioural change. The focus on behavioural change to meet the approval of leaders or admission into the "group" is then ingrained into the child. What may not have changed in the child or individual is to agree on the principles that demand the change of behaviour. Human beings are fickle, a child will learn that early on that the capacity of being inconsistent is found in those who care for him/her. Because people are inconsistent they may also be manipulated for a set time. But how does that impact adults as they apply the lesson learned into maturity. When people became the judge and jury of our lives, we begin to make them idols and their rule over us will harm us, not because t...
