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..

Visiting Card, an important asset to be carried along everywhere we travel, as it is the starting point of conversation. Recently, when we were chatting on the same topic and we debated if job title or designation to be on the visiting card.  " My Thoughts " is a job title can help contacts understand your role & responsibility within a company, quickly determine the decision making power the position holds. It has it's uses and can be extremely helpful. Also, visiting cards are given to customers, vendors and mostly people outside the organization and therefore, the hierarchical designation doesn't really concern the person outside the organization... Therefore, a job title must be on visiting card.     Example: A Country Manager for a particular channel is at hierarchy of Deputy Manager within the organization... Which do you think is the right way of having the business card ?

4 Ways of saying "NO" for organization and career growth !!

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
