Society

We are organized into a group behavior known as a society. On a practical note, there are those who give the orders and those who obey them on a tree-like flow with quite a few layers. All for the greater good, the society itself, that is. This is true on most political or government systems, and should be quite good for those who are in charge.

On a daily basis, we have contact with this type of hierarchy on school or at work. While on school it is supposed to achieve a fast and good learning method, professionally speaking it is necessary to someone to lead the way. To give a common goal.

I used to think like this, and it’s quite funny as right now i consider it an utopic view of things. Most people don’t care about how it’s done, they just want it done perfectly and preferably, for yesterday. Wouldn’t all things be better if instead of the objective itself, most people focused on the path to that objective?

    Cada vez concordo mais com aquela história da produtividade portuguesa (e não só) estar, muitas vezes, minada pela pouca capacidade de planeamento que as pessoas que lideram e nos conduzem possuem. Na Suécia, há a cultura empresarial de, cada vez que surge uma nova ideia comercial, a estudar, planear e definir estratégias a seguir durante uma data de meses ou mesmo de anos. E depois as coisas não correm tão mal. Cabe-nos a nós, se nos encontrarmos numa qualquer situação de liderança, tentar mudar aquele defeito a que toda a gente recorre e que se chama desenrascanço.

    Por alguma coisa fiz o post. Falta realmente uma cultura de planeamento muitas das vezes. E o que é triste é ambos estarmos nas engenharias. Depois as pontes caem… (Ou o programa deixa de funcionar, ou então afinal o metro não vai servir tantas pessoas como era esperado)
