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.

There are strategic and operational topics in our routine and the effective utilisation of energy is the key for smart achievement of these goals. According to "My Thoughts" i would equate energy with enthusiasm of an associate. And categorizing these two into 4 different boxes we could term associates into each of these categories : LOW Enthusiasm and LOW Energy: These are those associates who are nothing but 'SEAT WARMERS' of the organization (apologies on the word used, but that's a fact). They have absolutely no energy and no enthusiasm and therefore, are only seat warmers and are dangerous for the organization with respect to overheads and spreading of negativity in the organization. These associates are easily identifiable in terms o...
