Human Body an excellent analogy to Company Organizations !

-
The human body is best example to compare with the organization hierarchy and learn out of it. Each level is important in an organization and they have defined responsibility to do, changing responsibility will only result in undesired results.

Wondering HOW ? Let me try to explain.



To explain this, let me take an activity which all of us enjoy doing. “Eating”.

BRAIN = TOP MANAGERS



The Brain is the top management of any organization. It doesn’t do any activity but only instructs each organ to do particular work. It is able to evaluate options better between the right and wrong. When the food / drink is too hot, then the brain instructs to remove the food out of the mouth to avoid any burns. When in normal conditions, it instructs to chew the food.

Mouth = MID-MANAGERS



The mouth receives the food and breaks them into smaller food which would be easier for stomach to do its work.

STOMACH = FRONT-LINE MANAGERS / WORK EMPLOYEES



The mouth would have broken the food into smaller food, making the work for stomach easier and digest the food. Had the food been swallowed without chewing it makes it tougher. That’s exactly what MID Managers do or supposed to do; make work easier for their employees at the operational level

And with the digestion of work, suitable energy is provided to each level in terms of motivation / accolades etc..

It is also important to segregate the waste from the food and throw it out of the body. Retaining it within the body will only lead to many gastro problems and health hazardous which is identical to an organization to segregate waste from the good food and throw them out at the regular intervals, else it will only create hazardous to the organization.


Best thing is they also sit accordingly, the Brain is at the Top, Mouth is middle, the stomach at bottom, all hierarchically. 


Here are “My Thoughts” on comparing Human body with Organization. Would love to hear more from you and deduct more such comparisons for more learning..

World is being a more competitive place and to retain customers and increase the sales / turnover of an organisation, there are many things a company can plan / strategize. But many times the company plans to achieve these strategies by squeezing the existing resources. But since many employees fear saying "NO" to the managers, they take the tasks / additional load which would impact the productivity levels of their existing tasks : Am not saying here that each task an employee receives, must say "NO" to it, but my point is that the employee needs to evaluate it before accepting.  1. What is current occupancy level ?  Nobody in the organisation is working for 100% of their working hours. This is a known fact to all. But the occupancy level differs for each employee. The employee needs to evaluate the occupancy level and based on the same if it is more than 75% then he can explain the same to the manager in a logical way to say "NO" to t

First day to office, get the best shirt you have, get the best trousers, polish the shoes until it shines like a mirror, get the best perfume etc etc..... So it is the best you put on to impress the people you will be meeting in first day of first / new company. Let's look into some of the must do things as an employee joining a new organization : 1. Be who you are : While they say "First Impression is the best impression", be who you are, do not over impress. While many employees take the extra effort to be accepted in new organization, what they miss out is probably that this extra effort would cost them in future. As people build expectations with your initial few interactions and to retain the impression with them new employees continue to deliver the extra effort which would drain out their energy. Therefore, be who you are !! 2. Listen carefully : Open your ears widely to listen every bit of conversation. Restrain as much as you can from partici
